See Learn about user types and group types, Manually change a member's user type, and Permission system (user types and roles) for more information on user types and roles.
When you change or set a person's role in a Workroom, their user type may be updated to the minimum required user type automatically so they have the access they need. If this is the case, a tooltip will inform you of the user type change in the "Update role" or "Invite people" dialog next to the role.
In the table below, you can see the minimum required user type for each Workroom role:
Workroom role |
Min. required user type |
| Manager (only possible to assign to approved members) | Curator |
| Contributor | Participant |
| Visitor | Participant |
