Members

Introduction

Organizations consist of members and members can be part of multiple organizations. The number of members your organization can have depends on the tier of your organization. All members in your organization can access the resources within the organization.

Members can collaborate with other team members by adding them to projects they create. Otherwise, members don't have access to projects in your organization.

If you are the manager of a Trading Firm or Institution organization, you can grant additional permissions to your team members.
