Hub Roles

What is a hub role?

Your hub role determines:

• If you can create projects
• The type of projects you can view, access, and join
• If you can be assigned an administrator role on the hub or within a project.

What are the hub roles?

There are three hub roles:

• Team Administrator
• Team Member
• Project Contributor

Team Administrator

A Team Administrator can manage the following on the Hub:

• Hub settings
• Users
• Projects and project member roles
• Subscriptions

Team Members

In addition to everything Project Contributors can do, Team Members can also:

• View and access Open projects
• View all Closed projects and request to join them
• Create projects on the hub
• Invite users to projects
• Be assigned a Team Administrator role
• Be assigned a Project Administrator role
• Work in projects based on their Project role

Project Contributors

Project Contributors can be members of Closed and Secret projects and can do the following within a project:

• Work with content based on their project role
• Invite users to a project

They cannot:

• View, access, join, or be invited to Open projects
• Create projects
• View projects they are not part of
• Be assigned a Project Admin role

However, a Team Administrator can change the role of a user from Project Contributor to Team Member.
