# Members & Roles

Every project has its own membership list with role-based access control. Only workspace users who have been added to a project can access it.

## Role Model

Project roles control what a member can see or change inside an individual project. The current project role set is:

| Role            | Project access                                                                                                   |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Admin**       | Can manage the project, manage members, grant Admin, change Admin memberships, and create project conversations. |
| **Manager**     | Can manage the project and project membership, but cannot grant Admin or change Admin memberships.               |
| **Contributor** | Can view the project and create project conversations or project work where enabled.                             |
| **Viewer**      | Can view the project but cannot create conversations or manage project work.                                     |

The project creator is treated as a project Admin even if they are not listed separately in the project member table.

Workspace membership and project membership are separate. A user must belong to the workspace before they can be added to a project.

## Adding Members

1. Open the project.
2. Navigate to the Team section.
3. Search for workspace users to add.
4. Assign a role to each new member.

Only users who are already members of the workspace can be added to a project. Project membership does not grant workspace-level access.

## Changing Roles

Project Admins and Managers can change project member roles from the Team section:

1. Open the project's Team section.
2. Find the member whose role you want to change.
3. Select the new role.

Role changes take effect immediately. Managers cannot grant Admin and cannot change existing Admin memberships.

## Removing Members

Project Admins and Managers can remove members from a project:

1. Open the project's Team section.
2. Find the member to remove.
3. Remove them from the project.

Removed members immediately lose access to the project and its conversations. Their past contributions to conversations within the project are preserved.

Managers cannot remove Admins. Use an Admin account when you need to change or remove Admin memberships.
