cubic uses a role-based access control system to manage who can make changes to your team’s subscription and settings. Every team member has one of two roles:

​
How to become an admin

There are three ways to become a cubic admin:
  1. Install the cubic GitHub app - When you install cubic for your GitHub organization, you automatically become the first admin
  2. Be a GitHub organization admin - GitHub organization admins automatically become cubic admins when the app is installed
  3. Get promoted by an existing admin - Any current admin can promote you to admin status through the subscription settings

​
Admin role

Admins have full control over team management and can:
  • Manage seat assignments: Add or remove cubic seats for team members
  • Manage roles: Promote members to admin or demote other admins to members (note: bot accounts cannot be admins)
  • Configure auto-assign: Enable automatic seat assignment and removal when GitHub organization members join or leave
  • Bulk actions: Select multiple users to manage seats and roles in bulk

​
Member role

Members can use cubic’s full feature set but have limited administrative access:
  • Full platform access: Use all cubic features including AI reviews, analytics, and PR management
  • View settings: See team configuration and subscription status (read-only)
  • No seat management: Cannot assign/remove seats or change user roles

​
How to manage user roles

Only admins can change user roles. cubic provides both individual and bulk role management:

​
Individual role changes

  2. Find the team member in the list
  3. Click the three-dot menu (⋮)

  5. The change takes effect immediately
Only admins can see and use these options. Members see a read-only view of the team.

​
