Project roles: owner, editor, viewer, follower

Everyone in a project has a role, and the role decides what they may do there. Owner. The person who created the project. There is exactly one, and the role cannot be handed out — you get it by creating the project. Only the owner can delete the project and manage its members: invite, remove, and change a member's role. In a company project the company owner can do all of that as well, even if they are not a member of that project, so a workspace never gets stuck when a project's owner leaves the team. If the owner is removed from the company or deletes their account, their company projects pass to the company owner automatically. Editor. Full read and write access to the project's content: create, edit, archive, delete and restore memos, manage tags, upload and remove files, rename the project. Cannot delete the project and cannot change who is in it. This is the default role — most collaborators are editors. Viewer. Read-only. Can search and read the project's memos, open their history and download attachments, but cannot create, edit or delete anything — not memos, not tags, not files — and cannot share or unshare a memo. Useful for people who should consume the project's knowledge without changing it: a documentation or reference project, a stakeholder who only reads, an AI client you want to keep from writing. Follower. Someone who joined a public project through its link on their own. They read exactly like a viewer and can change nothing. The difference is only in how they got there: nobody invited them, so there is no invitation to adjust — you cannot give a follower a role, and you cannot remove them one by one. Making the project private again clears all of them at once. See "Public projects: share a project with a link". How to invite. Open the project, press "Invite member", find the person, then pick Editor or Viewer before confirming. Editor is preselected. The role applies immediately. How to change a role. Open the project, press "Edit" on the member's card, pick Editor or Viewer, and save. The change applies immediately, everywhere — the web app and every connected AI client. Two exceptions: the owner's role cannot be changed (there is no way to hand the project to someone else), and a follower's cannot either. Who can be invited. In a company project, only people who are already members of the company — add them to the team first. In a personal project, only your designated family guest (Max plan), and they are always an editor — there is no role to choose. The roles apply everywhere the project is reachable — the web app and any AI client connected over MCP. A read-only member's AI client can read the project's memories, but any attempt to write, delete or share is refused.
