Editors are users you trust to help manage your 7TV channel. They’re granted special permissions that allow them to make updates on your behalf, such as editing emote sets, managing your profile, or organizing your emote library — without needing full access to your account.
What Can Editors Do?
When assigning an editor, you can fine-tune their permissions using a detailed permissions panel. Here's a breakdown of the available options:
Emote Sets
Admin: Full control over emote sets, including deleting or modifying ownership.
Create: Allows the user to create new emote sets.
Manage: Grants permission to edit existing emote sets.
Emotes
Admin: Full control over all emotes, including deletions or ownership transfers.
Create: Allows the user to upload new emotes.
Manage: Permission to organize or edit emotes within sets.
Transfer: Ability to move emotes between sets or users.
User Permissions
Admin: General administrative control over channel-level settings.
Manage Profile: Lets the editor change your display name and profile picture.
Manage Personal Emote Set: Permission to handle your personal emote set.
Manage Billing: Access to payment and billing settings (use with caution).
Manage Editors: Allows the editor to add or remove other editors.
Super Admin
Grants every permission available. Only assign this to highly trusted users.
Do Editors Have Full Access to My Account?
No — editors can only access the areas you explicitly allow when setting their permissions. They cannot:
Log in as you
Access your login credentials
Automatically manage billing or other editors (unless granted)
