Team Management

Manage project and space members and roles in Elixion

Team Management

Elixion has two membership layers: Project members (who can work on a project's issues, boards, and sprints) and Space members (who belongs to the workspace a project lives in, for navigation and grouping). There is no Organization tier and no company-wide "team" or "group" object above these two — see the note in Spaces about the planned org boundary (ELI-1284), which has not shipped yet.

Space: Engineering
├── Project: Backend API   (project members: Alice, Bob, Carol)
└── Project: Frontend App  (project members: Dave, Eve)

Accessing Team Management

  1. Project Settings > Team — manage members of a single project
  2. Space Settings > Members — manage members of a space

Managing Project Members

Adding Members

  1. Open Project Settings > Team
  2. Click + Add Member
  3. Enter the user's email or pick them from existing users
  4. Select a role
  5. Send the invitation (or add directly, if they already have platform access)

Adding a user as a project member also adds them as a member of that project's Space (at the MEMBER role, unless they already hold a higher Space role) — see Spaces for why that matters.

Updating Members

  1. Open Project Settings > Team
  2. Click a member's role to change it
  3. Save

Removing Members

  1. Open Project Settings > Team
  2. Click Remove next to the member
  3. Reassign their open issues if needed

Removing someone from a project removes their access to that project. It does not automatically remove them from the project's Space — if you need to revoke workspace-level access as well, remove them from the Space separately in Space Settings > Members.

Roles

Space Roles

Space membership uses a fixed, four-level hierarchy:

| Role | Permissions | |------|-------------| | OWNER | Full control of the space, including deletion | | ADMIN | Manage space settings and membership | | MEMBER | Standard space access | | VIEWER | Read-only space access |

Project Roles

Project membership uses a role field intended to capture a person's function on the project (e.g. DEVELOPER, QA_ENGINEER, PROJECT_MANAGER, DESIGNER), plus a few access-tier values: OWNER, ADMIN, and VIEWER. These are stored per project — a person can hold a different role on each project they belong to, and there is no platform-wide "role" independent of project or space membership.

There is no built-in custom-role system, no group-based permission assignment, and no field-level permissions (e.g. restricting a "Salary" field to HR) — those do not exist in Elixion today.

Team Activity

Project and space pages show recent activity (status changes, comments, and assignments) for members you share a project or space with. There is no separate cross-project "Team Dashboard," "Team Chat," or capacity-rebalancing feature.
