Project roles and permissions

Effective permissions matrix for project‑scoped roles in Kontext Platform.

This page summarizes what each project role can do within a single project. Use it to understand what actions each role can perform.

Roles are created per project using these templates:

  • Project.Owner
  • Project.Admin
  • Project.Contributor
  • Project.Reader

Notes

  • Permissions are applied within each project independently.
  • ◐ “Own items only” means the action is allowed for content you created.

How role permissions apply

  • Your role within a project determines what you can do in that project.
  • Some actions (marked ◐) apply only to items you created.

Add users to a project

To give someone access to a project:

  2. Use the members list to add a user by User ID.
  3. Choose a role (Owner, Admin, Contributor, or Reader).
  4. Save. The user will now have access according to the role.
