#User Management Overview
User management helps workspace owners and managers control who can enter a
workspace, which projects each person can access, and how access is inherited
through groups.
In Hawzu, users can receive access in several ways:
- A workspace role controls what they can do across the workspace
- A direct project role gives them access to a specific project
- Group membership can give them inherited project access
#What You Can Manage
From the workspace Users page, you can:
- Review all workspace members
- Invite new users
- Open the invited-users list
- Search, filter, and sort users
- Change a user’s workspace role
- Manage one user’s project assignments
- Manage one user’s group membership
- Delete users from the workspace when your role allows it
From a project Users page, you can:
- Review users who can access the project
- See direct and inherited project roles
- Add existing workspace users to the project
- Update direct project roles
- Remove direct project access
#User Management Guides
Use these guides based on the action you need to take:
#Direct and Inherited Access
Project access can be direct, inherited, or both.
Direct access is assigned to a user for a project. It can be changed or
removed from the project Users page or from the user’s details on the
workspace Users page.
Inherited access comes from group membership. Removing a user’s direct
project role does not remove inherited access. To remove inherited access,
update the group membership or the group’s project access.
#Workspace Viewer Restriction
Workspace users with the Viewer role cannot be added to projects or groups.
If an existing user’s workspace role is changed to Viewer, Hawzu warns that
their project and group associations will be removed before the update is
applied.
#Best Practices
- Invite users with the least powerful workspace role that fits their work
- Use direct project roles for individual project access
- Use groups when several users need the same project access
- Review inherited roles before removing direct project access
- Delete workspace users only when they should lose all workspace access
