Quire Member Level Explained Permalink

Managing members in Quire happens at two levels: Project Members and Organization Members. Each level determines what users can access and what actions they can perform.

Overview

Organization vs. Project Access

Quire uses a layered permission system:

• Organization-level members: Access all projects within the organization, with permissions across everything under that organization.
• Project-level members: Access only specific projects they were invited to, without visibility into other projects in the same organization.

Example: Brandon and Belenda are both organization members of their own organizations, so each can see all projects within their respective organizations.

However, Belenda can also access Brandon’s Project 1 because she was invited to that specific project—though she cannot access his other organization projects (Project 2).
