Account membership controls who can access account-owned work. Permissions can be scoped to the account, project, book, or manuscript depending on the role being assigned.
- Members shows who can access the account and whether they have pending or active status.
- Invitations let an owner or authorized member invite someone by contact, pen name, or email address.
- Pending invitations to known contacts show their visible pen name or email instead of an internal identifier when available.
- Resource selects the scope for an invitation or role assignment.
- Role selects the capabilities granted at that scope.
- Inherited means no direct role is assigned at the selected scope, so access comes from a higher scope.
Role levels build on each other:
- Owner has full, irrevocable access to the account and everything inside it. Ownership is not assigned from the permissions sheet.
- Manager can manage resources in the selected scope, including destructive actions where the scope allows them. Account managers can also manage invitations.
- Editor can create and update content in the selected scope, but cannot manage membership or perform manager-only cleanup.
- Viewer can read the selected scope, add callouts, and participate in chat, but cannot edit manuscript or project structure.
Removing a member or revoking an invitation affects access immediately. Review the selected account and resource before confirming destructive membership changes. The entry-level account has 2 total member seats, including the owner. Each pending, unexpired invitation reserves a seat. If an invitation was sent under a higher quota and the quota later drops, the invitation remains visible but cannot be accepted until sufficient capacity is restored; the owner can revoke it to release the reservation.
