Roles in a workspace
What owners, admins and members can do in an Omne workspace, and how to change someone's role.
Every person in a workspace has one of three roles: Owner, Admin or Member. The role decides who can manage the workspace itself. All three can work on its content.

Change a role
- Open Settings, then Members.
- Find the person under Members. Only an owner sees a role list and a Remove button beside other people.
- Choose Owner, Admin or Member in the list. The change saves at once.
If it fails, the message "Couldn't change the role." appears.
The last owner
A workspace always keeps an owner. The list is locked on the only owner, and that person cannot leave. To hand over a workspace, make someone else an owner first.
Invitations
Everyone you invite starts as Member. Promote them afterwards.
Other roles
The system has room for roles that only read, intended for clients. They cannot be assigned from Settings yet.

There's a real person behind Omne, so ask anything.
