Roles in LucidLink allows the use of applying user specific administrative permissions without granting them full access. This article breaks down each role and its associated permissions in detail.
Owner
The Owner has the highest level of administrative control in a LucidLink workspace. They are the user who has created the workspace. The permissions associated with this role include:
Billing and Invoicing: The Owner is the only person who can manage all billing information, including payment methods, invoices, subscription changes, and account cancellation.
Workspace: Has full control of workspaces, having the ability to create, rename, and delete a workspace, including all of its filespaces.
Members: Has full control of member management tasks such as inviting and removing users from the workspace and assigning them specific roles, such as an Admin or Standard User.
Groups: Has full control of group management tasks, such as the ability to create and delete groups to organize workspace members.
Filespace Access and Permissions: Has access to what members and groups have access to. They are also able to set Global defaults to define filespace settings.
Snapshots: Has access to restore files/folders from a snapshot, delete snapshots, delete and create snapshot schedules.
Workspace Admin
The Admin role has access to the same permissions as Owner, with the exception of Billing and Invoicing access.
Filespace Admin
This role gives granular administrative control over individual filespaces in a workspace and has a more limited impact than the Workspace Admin. The Filespace Admin role has the following permissions:
