Setting Up Your Permissions

Every workspace in Infinity comes with its own set of permissions which you can edit if you’re the owner of the said workspace or if you have the necessary permissions to do so.

This can particularly come in handy if you’re working in a team, and wish to have more control over who can access and edit the data.

To access the Permissions section, click on the name of your workspace in the left sidebar of your screen and then on Permissions.

Team Roles and Permissions

Your team members can take on three different roles in Infinity: admin, full member, and restricted member.

team-roles

All three roles are fully customizable, meaning that you—as the owner—get to decide which permissions you want your teammates to have.

For example, you can set everything up so that admins can do everything aside from changing member roles, full members can’t delete anything, and restricted members can only create new items.

If you click on each role, you will be able to preview which members have this role, and you will be able to adjust the workspace and board permissions for this specific role.

Below the roles, you will see the list of your team members. Clicking on a team member will allow you to set up their individual permissions which will override their role permissions.

On the right of each team member, you will see their role. And if you click there, a dropdown will appear where you will be able to change their role.

Workspace and Board Permissions

As we mentioned above, there are two sets of permissions that you can set up: workspace and board permissions.

You can easily adjust permissions by checking the checkbox next to the permission.

You can change and update the permissions anytime you want and whenever you add a new member to your team. You can also access board permissions directly from the board you’re working in by going to the Board Manager.

Board permissions will override workspace permissions for that specific board.
