What each role can do on a project
Two rules worth calling out:
- You can only grant roles up to your own. An Editor can share a project as Editor or Viewer; a Viewer can only share view access. Owners can grant anything.
- Owners can’t leave their own project. Transfer ownership or delete the project instead.
Workspace roles
Workspace membership uses the same three roles. Workspace Owners manage workspace settings, the member roster, and billing; workspace Editors and Viewers get that level of access across the workspace’s projects. Your workspace role acts as a floor for every project in the workspace — the most permissive role wins. If a project shares you as a Viewer but you’re a workspace Editor, you can still edit, and the share dialog shows it as “Viewer · inherits Editor from workspace” so the owner isn’t misled.A workspace always keeps at least one Owner — you can’t demote or remove the last one.
Inviting members
There are two places to bring people in:- Workspace members — a workspace Owner invites from Settings → Members by email, picking a role for each invite. New members see every project the workspace role gives them access to. Pending invites can be revoked before they’re accepted.
- Project collaborators — anyone with access can invite from the project’s Share dialog, capped at their own role. Each project supports up to 5 direct collaborators on top of workspace access. See Sharing projects.
