Workspace settings - People and Permissons
In Upbase, this is where you manage who has access to your workspace and what they can do.
The People section has two pages:
- Members – your internal team
- Guests – external users, usually clients
Members
Members are part of your internal team. Each member has a role that controls their permissions.

1 - Workspace Owner
The workspace owner has the highest level of access. Each workspace has only one Workspace Owner.
They can:
- Access all workspace settings
- Invite, remove, and set roles for members
- Permanently delete any item in Trash
- Manage billing and payments
- Delete the workspace
- Delete any user’s items, including comments
2 - Admin
Admins have almost the same permissions as the workspace owner, with two limitations.
Admins cannot:
- Delete the workspace
- Access the Billing page (upgrade or downgrade plans)
3 - Member
Members are regular users with limited permissions.
Members can:
- Access project settings for projects they’re part of
- Access the Trash page
- Manage Personal settings, including:
- My Settings
- Integrations
- Notifications
Members cannot access workspace-level settings.
Invite members
To invite new members:
- Click Invite people on the right.
- Enter one or more email addresses.
- Select a role.
- Choose which projects to add them to.
- Click Invite.
They’ll receive an email invitation to join the workspace.

Change roles or remove members
Use the dropdown in the Role column to change a member’s role or remove them.

Guests
Guests are external users, usually clients.
This is where you:
- Manage all guests invited to the workspace
- Remove guests when needed

1/ Invite guests
Inviting guests works the same way as inviting members:
- Enter one or more guest email addresses.
- Select the projects to add them to.
- Click Invite.

2/ Manage companies (clients)
Click Manage companies to open Client Management.
In Upbase:
- Clients = companies
- Guests = people who belong to those companies
3/ Group guests
You can group guests by:
- Company, or
- No grouping
This makes it easier to manage large client lists.
Important note
- You can’t convert a guest into a member, or a member into a guest.
- This applies even if the user was removed before.
