When you purchase an A360 Team subscription, you buy a set number of seats. The number of seats you purchase determine the number of users you can have on your hub. Typically, on A360 Team, a Team Administrator sets up or adds users as Team Members or internal users to the hub. In addition, Team Members can invite external users to projects. If default hub settings have not been changed, these users become Project Contributors. Project Contributors have limited permissions on a hub: they cannot create projects and can only access projects they have been invited to.
The table below gives a comparison of the different types of users and their permissions.
