# Project Roles and Access Roles are used to grant permissions to users to provide access to a project and to perform specific tasks within a project. Users are unable to see projects until they have been given a role within a project by an owner. There are three roles being used in the tool.

Role	Description
Owner	An owner has full permissions within a project. They are able to completely manage project membership and project workflow. A project must have at least one owner.
Member	A member has some permissions within a project. They are able to manage their own workflow within a project
Guest	A guest has limited permissions within a project. They have read access to the project and are unable to manage any workflow. They can only complete tasks that are assigned to them by the owner(s)
