Member access

Clear roles, easy to understand

Two simple roles, owner and member, mean everybody knows who can do what, and removing access takes a single action.

The problem

Why it matters

Complicated permission systems often fail quietly because nobody can tell what they do. Orbis Drive deliberately keeps access simple. The workspace is the boundary: if you are in it, you can work with its files, and if you are not, you cannot see them.

How it works

Step by step

  1. 1

    Owners run the workspace

    The owner manages settings, members and billing.

  2. 2

    Members do the work

    Members can view, upload, organise, share and delete files in that workspace.

  3. 3

    Review the Team page

    See every member's name, email address and role in one table.

  4. 4

    Remove access when it ends

    One action removes a member. Their account stays, but this workspace disappears from it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I give someone read-only access?

Not as a workspace member. To give read-only access to a single file, use a sharing link.

What happens to files when someone leaves?

Files belong to the workspace, so they stay right where they are.

Can I have more than one owner?

Each workspace currently has one owner.
