In order to add a new member to a project, they must first be assigned to a Team. To learn more about creating a Team, please see the overview in SYMMETRY Cloud - Teams.
Project members can be assigned the following roles:
- Owner (full-range of privileges)
- Editor (cannot edit project info)
- Viewer (only capable of viewing projects in VR)
The permissions for the user that created the project are set to Owner by default and cannot be changed.
