Roles and permissions

Describes user roles and permissions for workspaces, projects, and groups.

Each Labelbox account belongs to an organization. Each organization can have one or multiple workspaces, and each workspace consists of members with different roles and permissions.

To learn how to add members and manage their roles and permissions, see Add members to a project

Member roles

Members roles can be assigned to individual members or groups, which consist of members that share the same project assignments whose permissions can be managed together. Member roles can be set to the following scopes:

ScopeDescription
Workspace-wideCan access all projects with their default role. This role can't be overridden at the project level.
Project-based using GroupsCan access all projects assigned to their group. They inherit their role from the Default role in their user profile.
Project-based using manual assignmentCan be manually assigned to specific projects. Admins can specify their user role, or it will be inherited from the Default role in their user profile.
Custom RoleCan be customized by selecting from available permissions. Allows granular control.

Workspace-wide roles and project-based roles are mutually exclusive. A member can only have one or the other.

Workspace-wide roles

An workspace-wide role applies to all projects within the workspace. If you have multiple workspaces, users with this role in one workspace can't access projects in other workspaces. This role allows members access to all projects and can't be restricted at the project level.

Workspace-wide roles have the following default types and permissions:

Project-based roles

Project-based roles are assigned on a project-by-project basis. They can be assigned using the groups feature or manual assignment. Once set, the member's organization role can't be modified.

Project-wide roles have the following types and permissions:
