Felt Permissions

Reference page listing out all permissions per role

Introduction to permissions

Anyone invited to a Felt workspace is considered a member of that workspace. Members can have one of four licenses:

Viewer

Someone who can only view the workspace, project, or map. They can leave comments on maps for free but they will not see the Felt toolbar when viewing the map

Contributor

Someone who can edit data on maps where they're granted access, but cannot create new layers or upload data

Editor

Someone with permissions to create and manage maps or data in the workspace (can create new layers and upload data)

Admin

Someone with full permissions in the workspace and that workspace’s projects

Across these four licenses, Felt permissions can be broken out into the following categories:

  • Workspace settings: Managing the workspace, members, and billing

  • Project-level settings: Creating and managing projects and folders

  • Map settings: Viewing and editing map content

  • Map management: Managing map access and permissions

This page outlines which license has access to permissions according to these categories.

Key things to know

  • There must be at least one Admin in the account at all times

  • Admins counts towards your editor license allotment

  • You can rotate or swap permissions across members in the workspace when managing membersarrow-up-right.

  • Permissions using Enterprise features are specified below.
