Roles & Permissions in Brighthive

This page provides an overview of permissions within the different sections of the Brighthive platform. Member roles within Brighthive include:

• Workspace Admin: The workspace admin owns your organization’s workspace. In addition to being able to create, read, update, and delete data and data products, the admin can add users to the workspace, configure governance, and create project flows.
• Collaborator: The workspace collaborator has less configurability than the admin but can still collaborate on projects created by someone else. They cannot, however, invite new members, create new projects, or change the names of existing projects.
• Viewer: Viewers can view project and workspace details within Brighthive, but are limited in their ability to edit.
• Contributor: Contributors can only view projects in which they have been invited to as Contributing Members. This is the ideal role for partners outside of your organization who have agreed to upload data directly to the Brighthive platform.

See below for a detailed view on action-based permissions for core areas of the Brighthive platform.
