Workspace Roles in Sphere XG

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.

The following workspace roles are available in Sphere XG:

Users can have more than one workspace and project role. For example, a Group Manager may also be Project Admin in the same workspace or another workspace.
