User types

Users can be regular users, team users, stakeholders, or global administrators.

Regular users

Regular users do not have administration rights. However, administrators can grant regular users permissions to complete various administration tasks, both on global and workspace levels.

When regular users are not logged in to a workspace, they can access the About Focal Point page from the General menu.

Team users

Team users are like regular users, but team users cannot use Gantt charts or the Prioritization, Visualization, and Plan features.

Stakeholders

Stakeholders can add elements, but cannot edit them.
When stakeholders are not logged in to a workspace, they can access the About Focal Point page from the General menu.
Note: If permission is granted, stakeholders can complete various administration tasks, both on global and workspace levels.
