How can I set up a Content Manager in MeisterTask?

Team Admins can assign the Content Manager to a user as a product seat on the My team page in Accounts. Assigning Content Manager seat grants the user full access systemwide.

Other Content Managers can assign new users the Content Manager role as a project role for specific projects or notes in their Project/Notes Settings. Assigning the Content Manager role at this level grants the user full access only within the selected project or note.
