Members and roles
Last updated
A member is a user who belongs to a workspace. A member holds one role per workspace.
A team workspace is a workspace shared by multiple members. For the types of workspace, see Workspace.
You manage members on the Members tab of the team workspace screen.
A role is the setting that determines which operations a member can perform. There are four roles: Owner, Admin, Writer, and Reader. They rank from highest to lowest in this order.

- Up to 50 candidates are shown, in order of name.
