When you create a project on the Free or Basic plan, you can assign one of the following roles to your project member: Owner, Admin, and Member.
Roles
Roles are project-specific. It’s not possible for another user to be an Admin for your project on a Basic or Free plan subscription. You can learn about the permissions and features of each role listed below:
Owner
This role is automatically assigned to the person who creates the project; they’re the owner of the Free or the Basic plan subscription. They can:
Create, edit, and delete projects/styleguides
Transfer projects and styleguides
... and all of the below.
Admin
You can assign anyone on the project as an Admin. They can:
Remove project/styleguide members
Assign current project/styleguide members as Admins
Delete comments or annotations
... and all of the below.
Member
This is the default role when you invite a user to a project. They can:
Upload and delete designs
Add users to projects as Members
Change the name and density of projects and styleguides
Create, edit, delete, and tag screens
Create, edit, and delete colors
Create, edit, and delete text styles
Access specs and code snippets
Download assets
Add comments or annotations
Access version history of screens and components
Access version diff
Create approvals
Create and modify flows
☝️ On the Free plan, only the project owners can export designs to the project. In other words, project members can only export designs to a project if it is owned by a user on a paid plan.
Assigning Roles
You can only assign roles for a user one project at a time.
To assign the Admin role to a project member, go to your project Dashboard and click the profile pictures on the right panel. Then, click the “…” options menu next to the project member’s name and select the “Assign Admin” option from the menu.
☝️ Assigning roles to project members on the deprecated Starter and Growing Business plans works the same way as in Basic plans.
