Porcia uses role-based access control. Every workspace member has a role that determines what they can see and do.

Changing a member’s role

Only admins can change roles.

Navigate to the team member list.

Locate the person whose role you want to change.

The change takes effect immediately. The member is notified.
Promoting someone to Admin gives them full access including billing and team management. Only promote people you trust with full workspace control.

​
Admin best practices

  • Keep admin count low — 2 to 3 per workspace is typical
  • Always have at least 2 admins so there’s a backup if one leaves
  • Remove access immediately when someone leaves the organization
  • Review the team list quarterly and remove inactive members

​
Security

All role changes are recorded in the workspace audit log with actor identity and timestamp. Access the audit log at Settings → Security → Audit Log.
