What's the difference between a user that has a workspace role and one that has none?

Learn how workspace roles differ from board-only access, including how role scope and permission levels affect user management

Users with workspace roles have access across your Air workspace, while users without a workspace role only have access to the specific boards they’ve been invited to. Workspace roles apply at the workspace level and include permission levels such as Admin, Editor, and Commenter. Users without a workspace role are board-only users, and their access is set separately on each board, such as Editor, Commenter, or Viewer.

On Enterprise plans, a workspace can include a Workspace Owner role. On non-Enterprise plans, Admin is the highest relevant workspace access level.

Role changes depend on permission level, so a user can only change access for roles at or below their own.
