User permissions are determined by their role and the account to which they belong.
Account Admins can manage users and change user access permissions at any time.
You can get to this page by selecting > Settings > Manage users in the top menu.
Community plans have a maximum of 50 users.
Access level per role
You can assign Read Only, User, or Admin roles. Each role has different access that helps you limit the data, visibility, and abilities shared with other users.
