Project Roles
The three built-in project roles and what each one allows.
Project roles are assigned per project and decide what a member can do inside that project. 8090 Software Factory has three built-in project roles: Viewer, Editor, and Owner. For access that does not fit one of the three, use a custom role.
Viewer
Viewer can view and comment on all project content, and can open project settings to read them. A Viewer can't create or edit content, or change settings. It is also the only built-in role a View member can hold.
Editor
Editor can create, edit, and manage content across all modules, and can manage agent skills. An Editor can also change each module's settings under Settings → Modules, such as the Work Orders phase schedule, labels, and statuses, and can manage the codebase connection. An Editor can't change project details, reindex the codebase, or manage project members.
Module settings follow module access. For a custom role, Editor on one module is enough to change that module's settings.
Owner
Owner has full access, including project details, codebase reindexing, and member management. Owners add and remove members and change their project roles. A project can have more than one Owner, and the last Owner can't be removed or given a lower role.

Archiving and unarchiving a project are organization Admin actions.
Member management is Owner-only
Only Owners manage project members. Organization Admins can too, through their automatic Owner access. No other built-in role and no custom role can grant member management.
Built-in roles are read-only. Every organization has them, and they can't be renamed, deleted, or changed. Find them at Settings → Organization → Manage Roles, under Built-in Project Roles, where View Details summarizes What this role can do.
