New Role Names in Projects and Notes

These changes apply to all users.

 

MeisterTask changes the names for the roles in projects and notes. To ensure consistent terminology and eliminate confusion, role names in Projects and Notes are being updated. Roles and Permissions will now have the same name across Projects, Notes, and Mind Maps.

These changes are especially important for anyone on the business plan who is managing a project and has the Roles and Permissions feature enabled.


What is Changing? 

We are updating the names of certain user roles. Here is a summary of the changes:

BEFORE AFTER
Administrator Content Manager
Member Contributor
Guest* Guest*
Commenter Commenter
Read Only Viewer

*The Guest role is only available in Projects and does not apply to Notes.

Starting in December 2024, the new role names will replace the old ones. In the Sharing tab, the role name shown next to each user will display the updated names.

This update is solely a name change. There are no changes to permissions or existing sharing settings. 

No action is required on your part. Please note that opting out or reverting to the previous naming system is not possible.


Why Are These Changes Being Made?

Previously, role names differed across Projects, Notes, and Mind Maps, creating inconsistencies and confusion. Aligning these role names makes it easier to understand user permissions.
