Manage team members and their permissions in Cliq
Members and Roles
Control who can access your workspace and what they can do with role-based permissions.
Default Roles
Cliq comes with three built-in roles:
Owner
The workspace owner has full control over everything:
- All Admin permissions
- Transfer workspace ownership
- Delete workspace
- Cannot be removed from workspace
Each workspace has exactly one owner. Ownership can be transferred to another admin.
Admin
Admins can manage the workspace and its members:
- Invite and remove members
- Change member roles
- Manage workspace settings
- Create and delete projects
- Access billing information
- All Member permissions
Member
Members can work on projects and issues:
- Create, edit, and delete issues
- Create and manage views
- Comment on issues
- Manage their own profile
- Access assigned projects
Managing Members
View All Members
- Go to Settings → Members
- See a list of all workspace members with their roles
Change a Member's Role
- Go to Settings → Members
- Find the member you want to update
- Click on their current role
- Select the new role from the dropdown
Remove a Member
- Go to Settings → Members
- Find the member you want to remove
- Click the ... menu
- Select Remove from workspace
- Confirm the removal
When you remove a member, their issues will remain but will be unassigned. Comments and activity history are preserved.
Transfer Ownership
To transfer workspace ownership:
- Go to Settings → Members
- Find the member you want to make owner (must be an Admin)
- Click the ... menu
- Select Transfer Ownership
- Confirm the transfer
Transferring ownership is immediate and cannot be undone. You will become an Admin after the transfer.
Project-Level Permissions
In addition to workspace roles, you can set project-specific access:
Project Access Levels
- Full Access - Can view, create, and edit all issues
- View Only - Can view issues but not make changes
- No Access - Cannot see the project at all
Setting Project Access
- Go to Project Settings → Access
- Click Add Members
- Select members and their access level
- Click Save
Best Practices
- Principle of Least Privilege - Give members only the permissions they need
- Regular Audits - Review member access quarterly
- Use Project Permissions - For sensitive projects, restrict access at the project level
- Document Roles - Keep a record of who has what access and why
