Permissions

The Permissions page lists the people who have been granted access to a project or foundation, and the role each one holds. It is where project-wide access is granted in LFX Self Serve. Group managers can also manage their own group's members and meetings; see Manage groups.

Role labels are not permissions

You may see a Maintainer or Contributor label next to a project in LFX Self Serve, for example on the Project Involvement cards on the Work history & Affiliations tab, or in the context picker in the top navigation. These labels describe your involvement with the project. They do not grant any access:

• A Contributor label does not stop you from viewing a project.
• A Maintainer label does not let you manage a project.

Project-wide access is set by your role on the project's Permissions page. To get more access, see How to get access to a project.

Open the Permissions page

1. Sign in to app.lfx.dev.
2. Switch to the Projects or Foundation lens and select the project or foundation.
3. In the left navigation, under Governance, select Permissions (/project/settings for a project, /foundation/settings for a foundation).

The list shows each person with access and their Role, and can be filtered by role.

If you don't have Manage access, the page is read-only and shows: You have view-only access to this project's settings. Contact a project manager to make changes.

Permission roles

Each role applies across the whole project. View and Manage cover all project content, including committees, meetings, and mailing lists; Meeting Coordinator covers the project's meetings.

Role	What it allows
View	Read-only access to view and browse all project content.
Manage	Full access to create, edit, delete, and manage all project content, including this Permissions page.
Meeting Coordinator	Create, update, and delete meetings and past meetings, including registrants, attachments, and recordings.

How to get access to a project

There is no request-access button in LFX Self Serve. To get access, or a different role, contact a project manager: someone with Manage access on the project. They can add you on the Permissions page. If you don't know who that is, contact support and include the project name and the role you need.

Add, change, or remove a user (Manage only)

These options appear only if you have Manage access.

Add a user

1. On the Permissions page, under Quick Actions, select Add User.
2. Enter the person's Email. LFX looks the email up in the directory.
3. Choose a Role: View, Manage, or Meeting Coordinator.
4. Select Add User.

The person is added straight away; there is no invitation for them to accept.

If no account matches the email, a User Not Found dialog asks whether to add them anyway. Select Yes, Continue, enter their Full Name (and optionally an avatar URL), then select Add User.

Change a user's role

1. Open the actions menu on the person's row and select Edit.
2. Choose a new Role and select Update User.

Remove a user

1. Open the actions menu on the person's row and select Remove.
2. Confirm with Remove. This removes the role assigned to them on this page. Access they have from elsewhere, such as a group they manage, is not removed here.
