From the drop-down menu, select the user role you would like to assign.

Role Access Overview:

-   **Administrator:** The user gets access to all private and public locations, projects, and files within the company. The user will also have full access to all information about your company.
-   **Manager:** The user gets access to all private and public projects, only to public locations, and access to files in those projects and locations to which the user will have access.
-   **Member:** The user only gets access to all public projects, locations, and files.

You can also edit what locations and projects the user has access to. Granting a user access to a Location includes all public info. To give access to private sections, adjust permissions within the Location.

IMPORTANT: You must first grant the user access to a Location in the Company Settings, then open the Location to assign them to specific private sections.

Then click "Save Changes" when you are done.

## **Privacy**

### **Project + Location**

It is important to note a project or location, once created, will automatically be private unless made public. A private project or location can only be viewed by a user if they are assigned. The only exemption to this rule are Administrators, which can view and edit all locations or projects in any invited company.
