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
The Contributor license is only available to Enterprise plans. Free and Team plans have access to the Viewer, Editor, and Admin licenses.
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 members.
