Short answer
Contributors can create and manage most project content, including files, Semantic Map terms, and emails, but they cannot delete most items or manage user access.
Full explanation
Contributors are active project participants who create and update content. They can manage files, handle email workflows, and contribute to the Semantic Map. They cannot delete files or folders, delete Semantic Map terms, or manage user assignments. Their actions apply only to the project where they are assigned as a Contributor.
Contributors can work across the following feature areas:
Chat and Conversations
Contributors can ask questions to AI, view their own chat history, delete their own conversations, download conversations if allowed, and share conversations publicly.Files and Documents
Contributors can upload files, edit file metadata, move files, create folders, and download files if project settings allow it. They cannot delete files or folders.Semantic Map
Contributors can create new Semantic Map terms and add terms to clusters. They cannot edit or delete existing terms. They also cannot bulk import Semantic Map terms.Email Management
Contributors can approve emails for ingestion, deny emails, delete individual emails, and perform bulk email actions. They can add senders to whitelists or blacklists, update sender status, and delete senders. Contributors participate fully in daily email workflows.Public Interfaces
Contributors can edit public interface settings such as persona and prompts. They cannot create new interfaces, update URLs, enable or disable interfaces, or delete them.Access Management
Contributors cannot view project user assignments or change roles. They have no access management permissions.Project level settings
If file downloads or conversation exports are disabled for the project, Contributors cannot access those features. Managers or Organization Admins control these settings.
Tips
Assign Contributor to users who update documents, manage emails, or build Semantic Map terms.
Use Contributor for team members who need creation rights but do not need the ability to delete content.
Consider pairing Contributors with Managers to maintain oversight of access and deletion permissions.
Examples
A manufacturing company assigns Contributors to quality engineers who upload new inspection reports.
A financial services firm uses Contributors to manage incoming client emails and update file structures without giving them deletion rights.
A real estate team gives Contributors permission to upload property documents and update public interface prompts for their listings chatbot.
A healthcare provider assigns Contributors to administrative staff who classify emails and add new Semantic Map terms but do not need access control.
