How do I administer what users can see and do?
When adding new users you can assign them different roles and permissions.
You can invite other users:
- to the Workspace (as admins and owners)
by clicking the admins icon in the Workspace Settings view.
Access the Workspace Settings view by revealing the dropdown under your user avatar icon in the upper right corner of the Project Overview, and selecting your Workspace (it will have an Owner badge next to it). - to the Project (as Member, Reviewer, Viewer)
by clicking the 'Users' icon in the Project Overview.
Access the Project Overview by clicking the SyncSketch logo in the upper left corner, then selecting the appropriate Project from the Projects dropdown.
Here are the roles in more detail…
Note that on Education Accounts some of these these roles have different names.
These Academic names are marked with an asterisk (*)
