Members & roles
A project's people are managed on the project itself. There are three things to understand: members, project roles, and the project lead.
Members
Members are the people who work in a project. You add and remove them on the project, and whoever creates the project is automatically added as its owner.
Project roles
Each member holds one project role that sets their level within that project:
| Project role | In short |
|---|---|
| Owner | Top-level control of the project. The creator starts as owner. |
| Admin | Helps run the project and manage its members. |
| Member | Contributes to the work. |
| Viewer | Read-only access. |
The project lead
Separately from roles, a project has a single project lead — the person accountable for it. The lead is called out distinctly so everyone knows who owns the outcome, regardless of how many owners or admins a project has.
Project roles are not company roles
Two different sets of roles
Project roles (owner, admin, member, viewer) decide what you can do inside a specific project. They're separate from your company role (the organisation-wide permission level covered in Roles & Permissions). Someone can be a regular member at the company level but an owner of a particular project, and vice-versa.
