How to identify your role within a Zoom account

Each user in a Zoom account automatically has a system role, which can be owner, administrator, or member. These roles are associated with a default set of permissions and unique privileges, which cannot be changed for the owner or members.

To identify your role in a Zoom account:

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
  2. In the navigation menu, do one of the following:
    1. If you’re an account owner or admin with privilege to view account settings, click Account Management then Account Profile.
    2. If you’re a member on an account, click Account Profile.
  3. Under Basic Information, next to Your Role, view your role type.

How to identify your Zoom licenses and permissions

Account owners and admins can assign licenses and permissions to users, which provides users with access to functionality or Zoom products based on their license or permission. For example, the Zoom Meetings Basic permission allows users to host meetings up to 40 minutes in duration. Available licenses depend on the account plan type, products, and add-ons purchased.

In the Zoom web portal, admins can view all users’ licenses on their account on the Users page. Users and admins can check which licenses or permissions they personally have access to on their Profile page.

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Profile.
  3. Under Account, view all the licenses and permissions you have access to. For example, if you’ve been assigned a paid Zoom Workplace license, next to Zoom Meetings, you’ll see the maximum number of participants you can have per meeting that you host.

Note: If you’re an admin, learn how to manage users on your account.
