This article explains the two layers of access in OnsiteIQ: account roles and project roles.

How access works

Access in OnsiteIQ works in two layers. An account role covers an entire account and every project in it. A project role covers one project only. A person can have one, the other, or both.
​

Account roles

  • Account Admin — manages the account and all its projects. Able to invite users, delete users, make role changes

  • Account Collaborator — can view the account and all projects projects, invite users, and make limited role changes

  • Account Viewer — can only view the account and all projects

Project roles

  • Project Admin — manages the project and its users

  • Project Collaborator — can view the project and its users, invite users, and upgrade viewers to collaborator

  • Project Viewer — can only view the project

Reading the dash

In the Users table, a dash (—) in the Account role column means the person has no account-level role and their access comes from individual projects. A dash in the Project role column means they have no role set directly on that project, so their access comes from their account role instead.
​

Which layer should I use?

Give an account role to someone who needs the whole portfolio. Give a project role to someone who should only a specific project(s).
​

Where to see roles

  • Account roles: click the gear icon at the bottom of the left sidebar, then Users under Account.

  • Project roles: gear icon, then All projects, then select a project and stay on the Users tab.

Both tables have a "What do the roles mean?" info icon next to the role column header.
