Blink User Roles
When utilizing the Blink Platform, users are designated various roles. You can have different user roles assigned within two distinct scopes: the Tenant scope and the Workspace scope. Each of these scopes—Tenant and Workspace—comes with its own set of unique built-in user roles and user role permissions.Each Blink user, has one Tenant role, and a Workspace role for each Workspace they're a member of. Workspace roles can differ between Workspace. For example, a user can be an Owner in one Workspace, but a Contributor in another.
Please note that users holding a Tenant Admin Role have editing permissions across all tenant workspaces.
