Understanding User Roles and Permissions
The Synthace platform uses role-based permissions to manage user access and actions. Currently, the Synthace Platform has two different user roles:
Administrators (Admins)
Members
Admins ensure the workspace is configured appropriately, while Members focus on conducting and managing experiments. This structure helps maintain security and clarity of responsibilities.

Managing Administration Rights
Administrator rights are managed by the Synthace team during onboarding. Admins will be agreed with you during onboarding, assigned by your customer success team.
Once your initial administrators have been assigned, admins can managed the roles of Synthace users in your organisation.
Use the Profile menu to assign roles to your users. Any new users will be assigned a "Member" role by default.
Roles can be selected for individual users within the Profile menu. Please ensure you fully understand the permissions granted to administrators before assigning this role you a user.
