Owner and member roles

Updated 2026-09-02

There are two roles: owner and member. Whoever created the household is the owner.

Owner only

  • Invite and revoke invitations
  • Remove members
  • Rename the household
  • Transfer ownership
  • Delete or restore the household
  • Start, restore, or manage ReciLore Full

Everyone (owner and members)

Add / edit / cook / delete recipes, build the meal plan and grocery list, add memories, and change the household preferences (default servings, week start day). Members can also leave the household.

One household per account

You can be in one household at a time. To join a different one you'd leave your current household (which signs you out) and accept an invitation from an account that isn't in a household. See Leaving a household.
