Teams

There are two different types of teams in Arcol, Professional teams and Personal teams.

  • Professional teams: Teams that are created by an admin from a professional domain (such as ...@arcol.io)
    ​

  • Personal teams: Team that are created by an admin using a personal domain (such as ...@gmail.com, ...@outlook.com etc.)


Team roles

Team roles are set for users who you add to your Arcol organization. These users permission levels are not set at an individual project level because they have access to your entire organization.

Team roles are the same between both professional and personal team types and are detailed below:

  • Team member: Can access all team projects in project browser and is an editor on all team projects
    ​

  • Team admin: All of the abilities of a team member plus the ability to set member permissions and manage billing for their team


Project roles

Project roles are set at an individual project level only. You set project roles for individual users when you share individual projects with.

Editors have edit access to the project they've been added to:

  • Editors can invite other editors and viewers

  • Editors can comment on projects

  • Editors can export projects

  • There is no limit to the number of projects an editor can be added to within a team

  • Editors are paid

Viewers have view and comment access to the project they've been added to:

  • Viewers can invite other viewers but not editors to the project

  • Viewers can add comments to the project

  • There is no limit to the number of projects a viewer can be added to within a team

  • Viewers are free


Sharing outside of your organization

When you share projects outside of your organization you are adding an External Collaborator.

External collaborators: Are any users that you share projects with who are outside of your teams domain.

  • External collaborators can have either view or edit access

  • External collaborators are free

Free external collaborator exceptions

Personal team users (using an email like gmail.com or outlook.com) cannot add free external collaborators. All users added are part of your team and either editors (paid) or viewers (free).
​

If you are on a professional team external collaborators are free however you cannot add collaborators who are using a personal domain.
