Space access control

Use space access control to decide:

What all company members can do in the space
What explicitly added space members can do in the space

Access levels for spaces#

No Access#

Users cannot see or access the space.

View Access#

Users can see the space and its accessible content, including documents, tasks, KPIs, and non-secret goals and projects.

Comment Access#

Includes View Access, plus commenting on tasks, discussions, documents, KPI updates, and other commentable resources.

Edit Access#

Includes Comment Access, plus the ability to:

Edit the space name and purpose
Enable or disable space tools
Create discussions
Create projects
Create goals
Create documents, files and links
Create and manage KPIs, and log KPI updates

Full Access#

Includes Edit Access, plus the ability to:

Delete the space
Manage company-wide access settings
Manage individual member access settings

Company-wide vs. individual member access#

Each space has two main permission layers:

Company-wide access: baseline access for all company members
Member access: explicit access for individually added space members

If someone receives both, Operately applies the most permissive access level.

Secret spaces#

Set company-wide access to No Access to make a space secret. Only people with explicit space-level access can see and interact with the space.

Space managers#

People with Full Access can manage access, including:

Changing company-wide access
Adding or removing members
Promoting or reassigning space managers
