Member Roles

Your access and authority as a user in Impact Inside is dependent on your role within a Project. If you have multiple Projects, for example, you may be a Project Manager in your first Project and a Program Member in your second Project.

User permissions for the app, Project settings, and other resources can be managed by assigning roles. Below, you will find descriptions of each role and their permissions.
