🏢 Workspace Permissions

This section explains the permissions that apply to the entire workspace. These permissions are available on all plans.

There are 3 types of roles:

  • Workspace Administrator

  • Member

  • Guest

Workspace Administrator

The Workspace Administrator can manage all settings and configurations related to the entire workspace.

Administrator privileges include:

✔️ Inviting, removing, and editing permissions for all workspace members

✔️ Managing plan and payment settings

✔️ Editing company and billing information

✔️ Adjusting all common workspace settings

💡 To check or change member permissions: Go to Profile (top right) ➡ Settings ➡ Member Management.


❌ Members and guests CANNOT modify global workspace settings.


📂 Project Permissions

These permissions are assigned per project. The following plans support project permissions:

  • Business Plan

  • Enterprise Plan

Within each project, you can assign roles to manage access and permissions:

  • Editor - Full editing rights

  • Viewer - View-only access

  • No Permissions - no access administrator and member permissions.

🗄️ Database Permissions

These permissions are set per database and are available on all plans.

Key Points about database permissions:
