Project Roles & Permissions

MAXQDA TeamCloud distinguishes between two predefined roles: team lead and team member. Each project has 1 team lead and 1-4 team members.

The roles are project-related in each case: The team leader of a project can also be a team member in other projects; conversely, a team member of one project can simultaneously be the team leader of another project.
