Project Roles

All projects reside in an Organization. Projects are created by a user with Project Admin rights or Organization Admin rights in an organization. Projects have their own user rights.

• Project Owner – A Project Owner manages a project and assigns tasks to team members. A project always needs a project owner. If a Project Admin or Organization Admin creates a project they become Project Owner by default.

The project owner has the following right

• To change Project status
• To change a member role in a project
• To edit the Project dashboard
• To view and edit a workflow
• To view their own and others’ tasks
• Add files to a project and manage file settings

  A basic member does not see project details for example who else is in the project and what tasks they are working on.

Tasks Roles

In Documill Leap a task is a work that needs to be completed by an assigned project member. For example, a member can be assigned to edit content in the file while others can be assigned to review that content. A task can be assigned to one or more collaborators however each project member needs to mark their own task complete for a task to complete.

Only the Project Owner assigns new tasks. Tasks are assigned in the project workflow. One of the benefits of assigning tasks in the workflow is Project Owners can see an overview of their project and tasks are completed sequentially Step by Step. There are different types of tasks in Documill Leap.

Once you have selected your workflow you will be prompted to Assign Collaborators. Collaborators are assigned in Workflow Steps to show the order in which tasks will come up.  Adding an assignee adds one task for each collaborator involved, and the collaborators assigned to these tasks have specific task roles.

Task roles are limited to a specific task which means an editing task is only delegated in the Editing phase and a signing task in the Signing phase.

There are the following roles in tasks
