Roles: on Team, admins do everything the plan allows, and destructive actions ask for the typed name; members only read. The rule applies on the web and, from version 2.7.0, on desktop (up to 2.6.0, the desktop app does not check the role). Per-client access only exists on the web. The plan applies to both web and desktop.
