What are the different roles in a workspace?

Workspace User Structure: Whenever you create a workspace, your email account by default represents an Owner of the workspace.

  • Owner: An Owner has all the privileges of a workspace. Some of the rights that only owners have are to upgrade/downgrade plan of the workspace, handle billing info and invoices, invite others as owners and they can also edit the workspace name and delete it.

  • Admin: An Admin can manage all users, companies, projects of the workspace. An Owner automatically has all admin level rights.

  • Member: Any user who is a part of any project in the workspace is a member of the workspace. They can only see projects which they are a part of. Project privileges depend on their project role.

For a detailed comparison of user project roles, please see: Workspace Roles Matrix.

Workspace roles are entirely unrelated to Project roles. For instance, a Member could be a Manager in a Project, and an Owner could be a Viewer.
