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
- Project Settings > Team — manage members of a single project
- Space Settings > Members — manage members of a space
Managing Project Members
Adding Members
- Open Project Settings > Team
- Click + Add Member
- Enter the user's email or pick them from existing users
- Select a role
- 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
- Open Project Settings > Team
- Click a member's role to change it
- Save
Removing Members
- Open Project Settings > Team
- Click Remove next to the member
- 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.
