Control access to CodeRabbit administrative features through role-based permissions. Assign appropriate roles to team members based on their administrative responsibilities.

​
Overview of CodeRabbit roles

Every CodeRabbit account has exactly one role per organization. Each role determines access to billing, account management, and administrative functions.

Admin

Full read/write access to all administrative features. Can manage other users’ roles.

Member

Read-only access to limited administrative settings. Appropriate for most developers.

Billing Admin

Read/write access to subscription and billing management. Limited other administrative access.
CodeRabbit roles are independent from Git platform roles (GitHub, GitLab, etc.). Changing a CodeRabbit role doesn’t affect Git platform permissions, and vice versa.
Roles only affect administrative features. All users can access developer features like code reviews based on their seat assignments, regardless of role.
For complete administrative functions by role, see Role permissions.

​
Default roles

CodeRabbit automatically assigns default roles based on Git platform permissions:

Admin (default)

Users with ownership-level Git platform roles (GitHub Admin, Bitbucket Owner) receive the Admin role

Member (default)

All other users receive the Member role by default
Default assignments happen only during initial account setup. Subsequent Git platform changes don’t affect CodeRabbit roles.
You can modify roles after initial assignment if you have Admin privileges.
