Manage project access

Control who can access each project on your team so that you can support internal tools, different collaboration workflows, and review needs.

Overview

Team Owners can customize granular project access for Netlify members on your team.

This allows you to control which projects a member can access and what role they have on each project.

Example

For example, as a Team Owner, you can give Marty on the Marketing team the Internal Builder role as a default role on the team for existing and future Netlify projects. This allows Marty to update landing pages with their favorite AI agent using Agent Runners for a Marketing site and have those changes reviewed by people in the Developer role in pull/merge requests.

If Marty decides to build a custom internal tool, Marty can create a new project and Netlify automatically gives Marty a Developer role for the project they created. The Netlify team is only billed for one member seat but Marty can have different roles across projects on the same team.

Supported roles

Only certain roles can have granular project access.

To learn more about the permissions of each role, check out Roles and permissions.

If a team member is provisioned by your organization’s Directory Sync, then keep these guidelines in mind.
