Project Roles
Updated 2 min read
Project roles in StratNav define who can view, edit, comment, invite users and manage access for secure, effective collaboration.
In StratNav, users can have one of four roles within a project, each granting specific access and capabilities:
-
Administrator: Can add or modify any project content and can invite new users to the project. Enterprise users with this role can also assign or modify other users' roles.
-
Contributor: Can add or modify any project content but cannot invite new users.
-
Commenter: Has read access to all project content and can add notes to most sections.
-
Read Only: Can view all project content without making changes or adding notes.
| Role | View content | Add/edit content | Add notes | Invite people | Allocate/Change roles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Administrator | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Enterprise subscribers only |
| Contributor | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Commenter | Yes | No | Yes | No | No |
| Read Only | Yes | No | No | No | No |
When you create a new project, you automatically receive Administrator rights for that project.
Only Enterprise subscribers with Administrator access can:
-
Assign roles other than Administrator when inviting users to a project.
-
Change the roles of existing project members.
Understanding these roles ensures effective collaboration and proper access management within your projects. Assigning each person the least access they need helps protect the integrity of the project while still enabling collaboration.
Application
Use:
- Administrator and Contributor for people doing the work.
- Commenter for reviewers.
- Read Only for stakeholders who only need visibility.
Check your current project access rights
Take a moment to check who has which access rights in your current project or projects, and correct them where necessary. Sign in, click the project name (the second item on the main menu), then select Share this Project and follow the instructions.
