Project members are workspace users who have access to a specific project. Each member can have a direct project role, inherited project roles, or both, depending on how access is configured.
Hawzu provides multiple ways to manage project membership:
Project access is controlled by roles.
A user can access a project through:
Direct roles can be updated or removed from the project users page. Inherited roles are shown for visibility, but they are not removed by deleting the user’s direct project role.
To manage members inside a project:
The project users table shows:
You can search, filter by role, and sort users by name, email, or role.
To update a user’s direct project role:
The available roles depend on your permissions.
Users with the Project Manager role may require additional permission before their role can be changed.
To remove a user’s direct access from the current project:
After removal:
Users without a direct role cannot be removed from this action because their visible access is inherited.
Use Add Workspace Users when users already belong to the workspace but are not yet direct members of the current project.
To add existing workspace users:
The window only lists workspace users who are available to add to the project. Workspace users with the Viewer role are not shown because workspace viewers cannot be added to projects.
Before users can be added:
If a selected user does not have a role, Hawzu highlights the missing role and prevents the add action until the selection is complete.
You can also manage project membership from the workspace Users page. This is useful when you want to review or update all project assignments for one user at once.
To manage a user’s project assignments:
From this view, you can:
The workspace Users page is best when you need to manage one user’s access across several projects at the same time.
Workspace users with the Viewer role cannot be part of projects or groups.
If a user’s workspace role is changed to Viewer, applying the update removes their project and group associations.
Hawzu shows a confirmation message before applying this restriction.
When you open a user’s details from the project Users page, the view is focused on the current project.
From the project Users page, you can:
Unlike the workspace Users page, this view is for managing access to the project you are currently viewing.
Member management actions depend on your role and permissions.
Depending on access, you may or may not be able to:
If an action is unavailable, your role may not have permission for that action.
