Vev is built to support companies of any size. Knowing how your account is organized makes the platform much easier to use. This article explains the Vev account hierarchy and what you can configure at each level.
Understanding the Hierarchy
Your Vev account is structured as a hierarchy that flows from the top level down:
Account: The top-level container for your entire organization.
Teams: Sub-groups within your account, often representing departments or client groups.
Folders: Organizational units within a team for grouping related projects.
Projects: The individual workspaces where you create and design your content.
Account
Your Vev account is the top-level space for your entire organization — the umbrella under which everything else lives: teams, folders, projects, and users.
One account can include multiple users.
All billing, subscription settings, and account-wide controls are managed at the account level.
The Account Owner has full access to every team, folder, and setting within the account.
Teams
Teams let you mirror your company's internal structure or workflow within Vev — separating departments, client work, or different project types.
Access control: Teams are the primary way access is managed. A user must be a member of a team to view its folders and projects.
Flexible membership: Users can belong to one team or several, depending on their responsibilities.
Quick access: Frequently used teams can be pinned to the top of the sidebar.
Example: If your account has six users, you could create a "Marketing" team with three users and a "Design" team with the other three. A lead designer could also belong to both teams to oversee all projects.
Creating additional teams, managing team-level user acces, and pinning teams is available on the Enterprise, Growth, and Scale plans.
For step-by-step instructions on creating, switching, pinning, and editing teams, see Understanding and Managing Teams.
Folders
Folders work like traditional directories on your computer, helping you keep projects organized within a specific team.
Project grouping: Use folders to group projects by client, campaign, or content type.
Inherited access: Access to a folder is determined by membership in its parent team, unless you invite people directly at the folder level.
Nested folders: You can create one level of subfolders for a more detailed organizational structure.
Nested folders and folder-level invitations are available on the Enterprise, Growth, and Scale plans.
For step-by-step intructions on creating, nesting, and editing folders, see How to Manage and Use Folders.
Projects
A project is the core workspace where you create, design, and build your content.
Location: Projects live inside folders.
Content hub: Each project has its own pages, assets, and settings.
Actions: From a project you can share, export, or publish your work.
To learn how to move a project between folders, see How to Move a Project. For inviting collaborators directly to a project, see Sharing and Collaborating.
Managing Your Profile
Your profile settings control your personal information and account security. From your profile, you can:
Update personal information: Change your displayed name and email address.
Manage security: Change your account password.
Delete your profile: Permanently remove your personal Vev profile (this only deletes you, not the organization's account).
Account Settings
Depending on your role, the Account Settings area lets you manage:
Account identity: Update the account name and branding.
Billing & subscription: Manage billing details and your subscription plan.
User permissions: Set default permissions for users and manage team members and Admins.
Global configuration: Configure organization-wide settings and integrations.
Only Account Owners and Admins can see and access the Account Settings menu.
