Membership Roles

Understand the roles and permissions inside a Semis Growth organisation.

Roles define what each person can do inside your organisation. Choosing the right roles supports controlled administration and clearly assigned learning responsibilities.

The application retains the role names Mentor and Mentee. In your organisation, a Mentor may serve as an instructor, tutor, or guide; a Mentee is a learner in an organisational mentorship programme. These terms describe responsibilities, not additional permissions.

Owner vs Co-Owner

Owners and Co-Owners share the same day-to-day powers. The key difference is that the Owner is the ultimate account holder and there is always exactly one Owner, while an organisation can have multiple Co-Owners.

Core roles

Owner

The Owner has complete control over the organisation.

  • Full access to every setting and feature
  • Manages billing and subscriptions
  • Assigns and revokes Co-Owner and Admin roles
  • Can transfer ownership or delete the organisation

Best for the creator of the organisation or the primary decision-maker.

Co-Owner

Co-Owners share administrative responsibility with the Owner.

  • Manage settings, members, and content
  • Manage billing and subscriptions
  • Cannot remove the Owner or delete the organisation

Best for co-founders, department heads, or a deputy who needs full operational control.

Admin

Admins run the day-to-day operations.

  • Invite, approve, and remove members
  • Create and manage courses and events
  • Moderate content and discussions
  • Cannot manage billing or delete the organisation

Typically assigned to programme administrators, L&D operations leads, or delegated staff.

Member / Mentee

Members are the core participants.

  • Take courses and track their progress
  • Register for and join events
  • Access shared resources and community
  • Participate in organisational mentorship and guided employee development

Typically assigned to employees and other authorised learners.

Instruction and Organisational Mentorship

Organisational mentorship supports knowledge transfer alongside courses and training events.

Mentor (Instructor, Tutor, or Guide)

  • Provides instruction, transfers expertise, and runs learning sessions
  • Sets availability and accepts session requests
  • Delivers assigned learning and feedback

Mentee (Learner)

  • Participates in guided development against agreed learning objectives
  • Browses mentors and books sessions
