Default Permissions for all Roles

On the Roles tab of the Team page, you can review and modify project team roles and permissions. Below is a grid showing the default roles and permission for all roles in Join.

Limit Access by Category (Category Permissions)

This setting allows you to limit some users' item permissions to a specific category, like Sitework, or a set of categories, like Electrical and Plumbing. You can set this setting to Yes or No for each role.

Yes: Users' Items/Options permissions will be based on an Item's assigned categories, such as “Sitework,” “Electrical,” or “Plumbing”.
No: Users' Items/Options permissions will be the same for all Items/Options regardless of their assigned categories.

Role	Default Permissions
Admin	No
Design Team	No
General Contractor	No
Owner	No
Subcontractor	Yes

Note: This permission setting does not hide Items from users based on their category permissions, it only changes their Items and Options Permissions based on what you set for "With Category Access" and "Without Category Access".
