Workspace Permissions
What a workspace member can do depends on their role. This page breaks down what each role is allowed to do within a workspace and its projects.
Roles
- Owner - the member who created the workspace, or who ownership has since been transferred to. Has full control over the workspace, its members, and its projects.
- Admin - can manage most day-to-day workspace and project activity, but can't remove workspace members, delete projects, or assign the owner role.
- Other roles (e.g. viewer) - can access the workspace but can't make changes to workspace settings or members. Workspace membership does not automatically grant project access; non-owner members access individual projects through their project memberships.
Only the workspace owner can transfer workspace ownership or transfer a project to another workspace, this ability isn't tied to a role and stays with whoever currently owns the workspace.
