Roles and Permissions

1 min readUpdated Feb 26, 2026

Two roles

Pink Narwhal has two roles: Admin and Member. That is it. No custom roles, no granular permission matrices, no 47-checkbox configuration page.

What each role can do

ActionMemberAdmin
View serversYesYes
View backupsYesYes
Restore backupsYesYes
Edit backup schedulesYesYes
View analyticsYesYes
View settingsYesYes
View databasesYesYes
Add serversNoYes
Add databasesNoYes
View audit logNoYes
Manage API keysNoYes
Edit panel credentialsNoYes
Manage Discord webhookNoYes
Manage billingNoYes

The short version

Members can see everything and restore backups. Admins can do all of that plus add servers, add databases, manage credentials, manage billing, and access the audit log and API.

Changing roles

Organization admins can change member roles from the organization settings. Click your avatar in the top-right, then "Manage organization" to open the organization panel. Promotions and demotions take effect immediately.

Tip

If you are running a server network with multiple staff members, make your trusted ops Admins and keep everyone else as Members. Members can still restore backups if something goes wrong, but they cannot accidentally change your panel credentials or API keys.
