What are the different member roles (classes) within Method Grid?

There are three member roles within Method Grid - architects (superusers), builders and users.

The member roles are related to system groups for access control. Each member is assigned one of three roles which then puts them into the corresponding group for access control, so each member is in just one of these three system groups:

  • Users
  • Builders
  • Architects

Each group can then be assigned access to folders and grids based on the three access levels:

  • View - have view access to the content, can comment, and can complete tasks and upload files to tasks assigned to them and unassigned tasks
  • Edit - have view level access and can also edit the content, assign and schedule 
  • Manage - have view and edit level access, but can also manage who has access

Users:

Can be given view/edit/manage access to content (grids/folders) individually or in groups (see configurable access control). They also:

  • Have edit access to grids in their My Grids folder (their private grids)
  • Can view other member's profiles
  • Can manage their personal settings

    Builders:

    Can be given view/edit/manage access to content (grids/folders) individually or in groups (see configurable access control). They have the same access as users above, but can additionally:

    • Edit/manage folder level grid labels
    • Edit/manage element templates

    Architects:

    Have the same access as users and builders above, but can also:

    • View/edit/manage all content in the account (access control does not apply to Architects, they have access to everything)
    • Manage members - add new, archive etc.
    • Manage member groups
    • Manage account settings - integrations, customization etc.
