Permissions overview
There is only one owner of a user-owned project (classic); this permission cannot be shared with another personal account. In addition to the owner, other people can collaborate on projects (classic).
There are three levels of permissions for project (classic) collaborators:
- Read, which gives people permission to view a project (classic).
- Write, which gives people permission to view a project (classic), link repositories to a project (classic), and interact with a project (classic). For more information, see "Linking a repository to a project (classic)."
- Admin, which gives people permission to view a project (classic), interact with a project (classic), manage project (classic) settings, and manage other people's access to the project (classic).
