A workspace is a collaborative space where your team works on studies together. Every member has a role that controls what they can see and do.

The four roles

Each role unlocks different capabilities across the workspace:
RoleCreate & edit studiesManage teamView resultsAccess settings
OwnerYesYesYesYes
AdminYesYesYesYes
EditorYesNoYesNo
ViewerNoNoYesNo
Owner and Admin can both manage the team (invite, remove, change roles, transfer ownership). The difference: only Owners can promote someone to Owner or Admin, and Admins can only invite up to Editor. A workspace must always have at least one Owner.

Invite members by email

From the Team page, click Invite member (Owners and Admins only).
  • Paste email addresses — one per line or comma-separated.
  • Choose the role (Owners can grant any role; Admins can invite up to Editor).
  • Add an optional personal message.
  • Click Send invitation.
An invitation link is sent to each email. When they sign up or log in, they’ll be added to the workspace automatically.
Invitations expire if unused. You can resend an invitation from the Invitations tab to reset its age, or revoke it entirely.

Manage member roles

From the Members tab, Owners and Admins can change a member’s role directly by clicking the role chip next to their name. Changes take effect immediately. Demoting the last Owner is blocked — transfer ownership first if you need to step down.

Transfer ownership

Only the current Owner can transfer ownership. This is an atomic hand-off:
  1. From the Members tab, find the member you want to promote.
  2. Click the menu (⋯) and select Transfer ownership to this member.
  3. You become Admin, and they become Owner.
This preserves the always-≥1-owner rule and is recorded in the workspace activity log.

Remove members

Owners and Admins can remove members by clicking the menu (⋯) and selecting Remove. Removed members can no longer access the workspace, but their past activity and comments stay attributed (tombstoned). You can’t remove yourself — use Leave workspace from the workspace menu instead. Admins can only remove Editors and Viewers, not other Admins or the Owner.

The Roles & permissions reference

The Roles & permissions tab shows a detailed matrix of what each role can do — handy to share with your team or check before inviting someone at a specific level.
