Workspace administration is available to users with the workspace workspace role `Admin`, `Developer`**, **`Project manager` or `Annotation manager`. 
:::

In the workspace members table you can find all users with access to the workspace. In addition to just browsing the members, you can view and edit their given roles.

You will only be able to see members that you have *workforce access* to. The only exception is that members with the `Admin` or `Developer` role will be able see each other.   `Admins` are also able to see `Project managers` since it's important that an admin knows who can perform significant actions in their workspace.
