Users

A user is an account that belongs to a workspace. Users are classified as members or guests, and every user is assigned exactly one workspace role for each workspace they belong to.

You can manage users within a workspace from global nav > Workspace settings > Users. For permissions by workspace role, see Workspace permissions; for inviting users, see Invitations and joining.

Members and guests

Category	Workspace roles included	Summary
Member	Workspace Owner, Workspace Editor, Workspace Viewer	Users who use the workspace's main features
Guest	Workspace Guest	Users who can only access limited resources, such as explicitly shared reports

• User = member + guest (every account that belongs to the workspace)
• Member = user excluding guests

Guests can't belong to a group. Also, Workspace settings in the global nav isn't shown to guests.

Workspace roles

Every user is always assigned exactly one workspace role.

Role	Summary
Workspace Owner	Has full administrative permissions for the workspace, including user management
Workspace Editor	Can create and edit content such as notebooks and connections. Can't invite users or change workspace settings
Workspace Viewer	Can view content but can't edit it
Workspace Guest	Can only view limited resources, such as shared reports

For permissions by role, see Permissions overview and Workspace permissions.

Deleting a user

A Workspace Owner can remove a user from the workspace from the Users screen.

When removed, that user's Private folder (including the notebooks and folders within it) is deleted. Notebooks in other access scopes, such as the workspace or a teamspace, remain intact.
