Ownership & Team Members

Now that you have your Buzzsprout account set up, you may want to give your team access to the podcast. This way, you don't all have to share one login!

Roles & Permissions

Each podcast can have one Account Owner, and unlimited Admins and Editors!

Let's break down each user role in your Buzzsprout account:
The Account Owner will automatically be assigned to the user who creates the podcast. Owners have complete control of and access to the account. They can update billing details, add and remove other users, and transfer the account ownership to any admin on the account.

Admins are one step below the owner of the account. They can add and remove team members (other than the owner), upload and delete episodes, and edit podcast information. But they cannot make changes to the billing, redirect the RSS feed, or delete the podcast. 

Editors have limited access to the account. Editors can only do things like publish episodes, embed episodes, and view stats. They cannot delete episodes or add new team members.

Keep in mind that team members are added to each individual podcast. So if you have one subscription with multiple podcasts, you will need to add the team member within each podcast. This is helpful if you run podcasts for multiple people and want to only give them access to their own podcast. 

Adding a New Team Member

In Buzzsprout, you can add team members to your podcast by following these steps: 
  1. Log in to your account and go to  Settings > Podcast Settings.
  2. Select the Team Members tab.
  3. There, you can add a new team member as either an admin or an editor!

Changing the Account Owner

Each podcast can have just one account owner who has full control of the account. As the owner, you can transfer the role to another user by following these steps:   
  1. Log in to your account and go to Settings > Subscription and select the Owner tab. 
  2. There, you'll see that you are the owner of the subscription, as well as a button to Change Owner. Press that! ownership and team members 2.png
  3. Now, you'll see a list of the admins on the account. Select who you'd like to be the new owner and choose Next. CleanShot 2025-08-19 at 11.53.33@2x.png
  4. We'll confirm the change with you, and then you can press Change Owner. CleanShot 2025-08-19 at 11.56.54@2x.png
Note: When you change the ownership, you will become an admin role in the account. This means you won't be able to access or update the billing information. So, make sure that the card on file is correct before you transfer ownership!
