Creating and Customizing Access Roles
Enterprise admins with the right to Edit Access Roles can create, customize, and delete access roles.
Access roles (Full, Editor, Limited, or Read Only) can be assigned when a project or folder, or space is shared. In Enterprise accounts these roles can be customized and new ones can be created. Enterprise accounts can have up to 10 access roles.
Admins can create new roles, decide which rights are associated with them, and rename them.
To create an access role:
Click your profile image in the workspace's upper right-hand corner.
Click Settings.
Under Account Management select Access Roles in the left-hand menu 1.
Click Create Access Role 2.
In the pop-up that opens, enter the title 3 and description of the role 4.
Click Create Role 5. The role appears in the table as a new column.

To customize an access role:
Click your profile image in the workspace's upper right-hand corner.
Click Settings.
Under Account Management select Access Roles in the left-hand menu 1.

You'll see the list of access roles with the rights you can customize 2.
To include a particular right, check the box where the right corresponds with the preferred role.
To exclude a particular right, uncheck the box.
To rename a role or edit the description, click the three-dot menu to the right of the title 3.
Click Save changes 4.
Your changes immediately take effect in the workspace. All users and user groups who have a certain access level to a folder or project receive appropriate permissions.
Note
You may see that a user or a user group has multiple access roles in a folder, project, or space. This indicates:
They've inherited different access roles from multiple parent folders, projects, or user groups.
These access roles are customized to have a different set of permissions associated with each role inherited from parent folders, projects, and user groups.
You can delete any role except the default ones (Full, Editor, Limited, and Read Only).
Click your profile image in the workspace's upper right-hand corner.
Click Settings.
Under Account Management select Access Roles in the left-hand menu 1.
Click the three-dot menu to the right of the title of the role you want to delete 2.
Click Delete Role 3.
In the pop-up that opens, choose a role to replace the deleted role from the list. All users who are granted the deleted role will get the access role you select in this step.
Click Delete Role.
Click Save changes 4.
