Wren AI uses role-based access control (RBAC) for projects. Before someone can work in a project, they must already be a member of your organization.
Add members to a project

To add members to your project:
- Go to Settings → Project → Access Control
- Click Add Member
- Select an organization member from the dropdown
- Choose the appropriate role for the member
- Click Add to confirm
Prerequisite
Users must be members of your organization before they can be added to projects. Organization admins can invite new members to the organization first.
Choose a project role
When adding members to a project, you can assign one of three roles:
Project Owner
- Full access to manage project settings, members, and all project content
- Can update models, knowledge base, dashboards, and spreadsheets
- Can manage project access control and settings
- Organization admins automatically become project owners of all projects
Project Contributor
- Can perform most project activities but cannot update project settings or manage members
- Can create and modify threads in shared folders, models, knowledge, dashboards, and spreadsheets
- Cannot change project-level configurations
Project Viewer
- View-only access to project settings, members, models and knowledge base
- Can create and modify dashboards and spreadsheets

The following table outlines the permissions for each role in your project:

Best Practices
- Start with Viewer roles: Begin by giving new members viewer access, then upgrade as needed
- Regular reviews: Periodically review project member access and roles
- Principle of least privilege: Only grant the minimum permissions necessary for each member's role
- Document access: Keep track of who has access to sensitive projects
