At the organizational level, the admin assigns each user a role before they join: admin, member, or guest. They can be given additional privileges, such as plan admin or invite users. Within your Backlog space, users can also be given project admin privileges.
In this overview, we’ll go over:
- Organization roles and privileges
- Backlog privileges and restrictions
Organization roles and privileges
Within an organization, admins can assign users one of the following roles:
Admin: Can manage all organization and Backlog settings except plans and billing. Can add, edit, and delete users and teams.
Member: Can view organization members and teams they belong to, add teams, and access their Backlog projects including issues, wikis, etc.
Guest: Can view their account details and access their Backlog projects including issues, wikis, etc.
In addition to their role, admins and members can be given additional privileges:
Plan admin: Can manage plans and billing, delete the organization, and assign plan admin privileges to other admins and members.
Invite users: Allows members to invite new people to the organization and assign invite user privileges to other members.
Backlog privileges and restrictions
Within a Backlog space, admins can assign project admin privileges to members of a specific project. Project admins can manage project settings, invite others to the project, and assign other project admins if “Allow project administrators to manage each other” is enabled by the admin in the project settings. Admins can also restrict members to only being able to add or view issues.
