Understanding Roles and Permissions in Medialister

Medialister uses a flexible role-based system that helps teams collaborate effectively while maintaining appropriate access controls.

How Roles Work

Every member in Medialister has two types of roles:

1. Project Role
   Determines what you can do within specific projects

2. Organization Role
   Automatically assigned based on your project role

NB: The client and publisher dashboards are completely separate workspaces. When you invite someone to a project in the client dashboard, they will not have access to the publisher dashboard unless you invite them there as well.

Seeing Member Emails

On a project's Members list, each member is shown with their name and email address, so you can quickly check which email a member uses to log in. Your own email is also shown in the profile menu in the sidebar, next to your name and role.

The Connection Between Project and Organization Roles

Your project role automatically determines your organization-level access:

• Project Admin → Organization Admin (full access to all projects and settings)

• Project Manager → Organization Manager (access only to invited projects)

• Project Editor → Organization Editor (access to texts in invited projects, read-only access to everything else in those projects)

• Project Viewer → Organization Viewer (read-only access to invited projects)

Different Roles in Different Projects

It depends on the role. You can invite a user as a manager in one project and as a viewer in another. However, if you invite a user as an admin in one project, they will be granted the admin role at the organization level and will have full access to all projects.
