Founder, lead and member

The person who created the project; a project has one founder. Only the founder can:

• name leads, set their permissions and remove a lead from the team
• pause, archive and resume the project
• transfer ownership and delete the project

The founder can't leave the team; they hand the project to another member first.

A lead runs the team with the permissions the founder gave them. There are seven:

• Tasks: creates, assigns, moves and deletes tasks; approves handed-in work
• Pipeline: changes the stages, their icons and dates
• Channels and rooms: creates, renames and closes text channels and voice rooms
• Members: invites people, removes members, gives positions
• Chat moderation: deletes others' messages, pins messages, mutes people in rooms
• Design and files: deletes others' drawings, files and notes
• Project settings: general info, pictures, integrations, notifications, backups

A new lead starts with the first four.

A member writes in channels, joins voice rooms, deletes what they wrote or uploaded themselves, and moves forward the tasks they are on. They can change their own position too.

Go to Project settings › Permissions, section Leads and their permissions. Press Add lead and pick a member. Click the permissions on the lead's row to turn them on or off; the cross on the row (Remove as lead) makes them a member again. You can also open the three dots next to the person in Manage team and choose Make lead.

In Project settings › Project status, press Transfer on the Transfer ownership row, pick a member under New founder and confirm. That member becomes the founder. You stay on the team as a lead; from then on the new founder chooses your permissions.
