User roles
Runway roles are hierarchical: Owner, Admin, Manager, Member, Guest, then Anonymous user. Invited users default to Member unless you choose another role. For the canonical role and access matrix, see Roles and access.| Role | Default access pattern | Distinctive behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Full workspace access | Owns the workspace and cannot be modified from sharing UIs. |
| Admin | Full workspace access | Can configure the model, workspace settings, and workspace info. |
| Manager | Broad internal modeling access with exceptions | Can trace and edit models, create scenarios, and access shared workspace information. |
| Member | Limited default access | Can trace models, create scenarios, and access shared workspace information after access is granted. |
| Guest | Shared-content access only | Can view pages and data shared with them. |
| Anonymous user | Share-link visitor access only | Created through page share links; never selectable as a normal role. |
Owner
Owners have workspace-level control and are treated as a protected system role in sharing. Use Owner sparingly for the people accountable for the workspace itself.Admin
Admins can configure the model, workspace settings, and workspace info. This role is usually for finance or operations team members who administer Runway.Manager
Managers are internal collaborators who need broad modeling access without full admin control. They can create scenarios and work with shared model information, with exceptions for sensitive workspace areas.Member
Members are internal collaborators who need access to specific shared resources. They can trace models and create scenarios where their access allows it.Guest
Guests are external or limited collaborators who should only see content explicitly shared with them.Anonymous user
Anonymous users are provisioned through page share links. They are not invited through the role picker and should be managed through link security settings.Access levels

The People tab includes an invite field with placeholder Email, name or group, separated by commas, an Add button, an access-level dropdown, Notify via email, and an optional message field.
