Permissions matrix

This is the exhaustive permissions reference for every system defined role in Plane.

For conceptual background, see Roles and permissions. For the role catalog, see Member roles.

How to read this page

Legend

• ✓ - the role has unconditional access to this permission.
• +Creator - the role can perform the action only on resources they created.
• +Lead - the role can perform the action only if they're the teamspace lead.
• x - the role does not have this permission.

Owner has full access. Workspace Owner holds a full-access wildcard and matches every permission in this document. The Owner column is omitted from individual tables and assumed ✓ throughout.

Workspace Admin and Owner bypass projects. Both have wildcard access to every project resource type, so they appear as ✓ on all project-level permissions even without explicit project membership.

Teamspace permissions

Teamspace content access requires teamspace membership. Workspace Owner has full bypass via wildcard. Workspace Admin has resource-level wildcards for teamspace content (view, create, edit, delete teamspace content) but does not automatically have teamspace edit, delete, or member management. Those require the teamspace lead condition.

Edge cases and behavioral nuances

Workspace Owners and Admins can't be locked out of projects

Removing a workspace Owner or Admin from a project removes the project-level membership record but has no functional effect. Their workspace-level wildcards still grant access through inheritance.

Hidden permissions reserved for specific roles

Permission	Holder	Notes
Delete Workspace	Owner only	Cannot be granted via custom roles
Transfer Ownership	Owner only	Cannot be granted via custom roles
Manage Billing	Owner + Admin	Billing access
Manage Integrations (uninstall)	Admin only	Some destructive integration operations

Creator-only business rules

Some restrictions apply regardless of role level. Even an Admin cannot bypass them:

• A workspace view can only be edited by its creator.
• A project view can only be edited by its creator.

Permissions that cannot be added to custom roles

Permission	Why
Full access (*)	Reserved for Owner
Delete Workspace	Reserved for Owner
Transfer Ownership	Reserved for Owner

Permission dependencies

Some permissions require others to function. The role builder enforces these automatically. Enabling a permission auto-enables its prerequisites, and disabling a prerequisite auto-disables permissions that depend on it.

Common dependencies:

• Edit requires View on the same resource type.
• Delete requires View on the same resource type.
• Member management actions require View Members on the relevant scope.

Feature flags that gate permissions

Some permissions only become available when the corresponding feature is enabled at the workspace or project level. If a feature is disabled, the related permissions exist in the role definition but have no effect.
