Assign a user type and roles to members

User type and roles at the level of the organization

The user type and roles define user rights for individual organization members. Some features are gated behind role requirements. Read more about user types, roles, and permissions.

To assign a user type and roles to a member in an organization, follow these steps:

  2. Navigate to the member whom you want to edit. Go to the Manage user roles menu (…), and then select Edit user type in organization.

User type and roles at the level of the project

To access a project, organization members must have the User type for this project.

A member's user type can differ in each project according to their level of involvement, but its level can't be lower than the member's user type at the level of the organization.

Because each project can have different services enabled and each project is tied to an organization, only that organization Owner can enable and disable services for the organization's projects. Regardless of your subscription tier or seat, you need certain user types or roles within an organization to use specific products or view related data on the Unity Cloud Dashboard.

When you invite someone from outside the organization to your project, this person has access only to the selected project, but not to information about the organization or your subscription. The same applies to organization members with the User or Guest role.

Manage a member in a project

You can change a member's user type and roles in a project.

To change a member's user type or roles or in a project, follow these steps:

  1. In Unity Cloud, go to Projects, and then select a project.
  2. On the Project members tab, navigate to the member whom you want to edit. Go to the Manage user roles menu (…), and then select Edit user type in project.
