Permissions matrix ​

This is the exhaustive permissions reference for every system-defined role in Plane.

For conceptual background, see Roles and permissions. For the role catalog, see Member roles.

Plane has two sets of roles: workspace roles that control what someone can do across the entire workspace, and project roles that control what they can do inside a specific project. A person's project role is independent of their workspace role — you can be a workspace Member but a project Admin.

Symbols used on this page ​

  • ✓ - Permitted for any item
  • Own - Permitted only on items the user created (creator condition)
  • Lead - Permitted only when the user holds the Lead designation in that teamspace
  • — - Not permitted
  • * - All actions permitted (wildcard grant in permission scheme)

Workspace permissions ​

Owner and Admin bypass: Workspace Owners have unconditional full access. Workspace Admins have full access to all workspace resources and all project resources — without needing project membership.

Teamspace Permissions ​

Workspace Owners and Admins have full access to all teamspace content without being teamspace members — they effectively hold wildcard grants on all teamspace resources.
In the app, workspace Guests cannot be added to a teamspace.

The tables below apply to users who are explicit teamspace members. Lead is a designation (condition), not a separate role level.
