How contributor access combines with baseline access#

A person can receive project access from:

• Company-members baseline
• Space-members baseline
• Contributor grant

Operately uses the most permissive grant as effective access.

Important limitation#

People with Edit Access can manage contributors, but they cannot grant contributor access above Edit Access.

For complete level definitions and project-wide rules, see Project permissions and How permissions work.

Tip

Use baseline rules for broad visibility and contributor grants for people who actively execute project work.
