Changing Permissions

To modify a team member's permissions:

1. Open the project's Team panel on the Project Dashboard
2. Find the user in the team list
3. Select their current access level
4. Select Read Only, Read & Write or Admin. The change applies straight away

Removing Team Members

To remove someone from your project:

2. Find the user you want to remove
3. Select the remove button on their row

warning

When you remove a team member, they will lose all access to the project immediately. Make sure this is intentional before confirming.

Organization Team Management

Organization Projects

If your project belongs to an organization, team management works slightly differently:

Organization Administrators

• Can add themselves to any organization project
• Can manage project teams across the organization
• Can access billing and seat management

Seat Management

For organization accounts with seat limits:

• Each team member on a private project occupies a seat
• Public projects don't require seats
• Organization owners can manage seat allocation
• Removing users from projects frees up seats

Adding Organization Members

Organization administrators can add themselves to projects:

1. Go to the organization account page
2. Find the project in the projects list
3. Click the dropdown arrow
4. Select "Add me as admin"
