Note: 'Workspace Roles' are 'Company Roles' in HoloBuilder.
A workspace role is a list of general permissions within a workspace. Users with workspace roles have access to more features in Sphere XG than users with project roles. This also means that they can use and/or view more Sphere XG features.
If you prefer a table format, see Overview of Roles and Permissions on the Workspace and Project Level.
