Project members ​

Decide who can work in a project. Everything in a project, agents, workflows, prompts, runs, is invisible to anyone who is not a member.

At a glance ​

Before you beginThe person has an account. (New people register themselves, see Signing in)

1. What it is and why it matters ​

What someone can do is decided by two things together:

DecidesSet on
Organisation roleWhat they may do: view, build, publish, administerPeople (People and roles)
Project accessWhere they may do itMembers (this page)

An Author added to Member Services can build there and nowhere else. Project membership has no role of its own, one role per person, applied in every project they belong to.

Administrators can reach every project, whether or not they are members.

Project access also matters outside Studio: a member of a project here can publish that project's prompts in Instruction Manager (where the publishing flow allows), and sees its traces in ARMS.


2. See who is in the project ​

They can open the project straight away. If they need to build or publish, check their organisation role on People.


4. Remove someone ​

Click Remove on their row. They keep their account and their history (what they authored, the runs they started) but can no longer open the project. The change is also passed on to Instruction Manager and ARMS.
