When adding a user to your project team, you have to choose a role for them. A role has a pre-defined group of permissions that define how a user can interact with a project. A5 comes with some default roles; however, when your account was set up, additional roles may have been added specific to your business’s needs.
In the below table, you can see what the default roles are and the associated permissions. For more information about your account setup, please talk to your account admin.
| PROJECT OWNER |
Project owners can be thought of as the project administrator and therefore have complete access to the project. They can:
|
| PROJECT CONTRIBUTOR |
This user can perform actions on their own files but can’t affect other files in the project. They can:
|
| PROJECT USER |
They can:
|
| PROJECT OBSERVER |
They can:
|
In addition, it is possible to pre-define the sharing permissions for project roles. For further information, please also read Sharing Permissions for Project Roles.
Guest User
If you need to share folders for uploading and downloading content with contacts who are not users of your A5 Platform account (e.g post-houses that do not perform ordering), they can be invited to create a guest account. These users can be given any of the roles listed above, but they cannot be given permission to create new projects or do anything in the A5 Platform outside of the project(s) they have been given access to.
