Onehub Workspaces uses a role-based permission system to control access to files and information. The role is set when the user is invited and can be changed at any time by an Administrator or Moderator. One of the challenges with role-based permissions, is viewing the information you are sharing as a different role. This is now easy in Workspaces with the new View Workspaces As feature.
How it Works
When sharing a Workspace, folder or file, you select the role of the user you are inviting. Next to the role drop-down are two icons, Help and View As.
When you select View As, your view is replaced using the permissions of the role you selected. The top Onehub bar is replaced with a Preview Bar. To return to the normal view, click the X icon in the top right to exit preview mode.
Available Roles
Note: All roles inherit the permissions of the roles below them.
