Changing contributor and guest roles

LivePlan account owners can invite additional users to their accounts. These users can either be contributors who can view and edit a plan or guests who can only view a plan. LivePlan accounts come with unlimited guest users and a limited number of contributors.

The account owner and contributors with permission to Add and manage users can edit user roles and permissions.

To change a user’s role:

    • In the left menu bar, click Invite Users:

    arrow pointing to add contributor
    • Next to the user, click Change access:

    • In the left menu bar, click Invite Users:

    arrow pointing to add contributor
    • On the Users page, you'll see all the current users on your account listed:
