Manage project members

If you are an organization owner or project owner, you can manage members in your project. You assign project members a specific role that determines the member’s permissions within the Pinecone console. This page explains project roles and permissions, and how to manage project users.

For information about managing members at the organization-level, see Manage organization members.

Add members to a project

5. Select a Project Role for the member. The role determines the member’s permissions within the Pinecone console.
