User Types in EarthScan 

User type specifies the kind of permissions an EarthScan user holds, and is assigned by the user with the role of Org Owner. In EarthScan, there are three types of users: 

• Members - users can view, create and share Portfolios
• Admins - users have the same permissions as Members. And they can also:
  • • Invite users to join the Organization
    • Remove Members from an Organization - but they cannot remove Admins
    • Promote users from Members to Admins - but they cannot change Admins to Members

• Org Owners - users have the same permissions as Admins. And they can also:
  • • Remove Admins from an Organization
    • Change users from Admins to Members
