Membership Levels

Organizations are made up of Members, Administrators, and the Owner.

When an organization is added to a project, all of the members of that organization are granted the rights and privileges granted at the organization level. The one exception to this is when a project is created whose owner is an organization. In that case, the administrators and owner of that organization have ownership rights to the project, but other organization members have contributor-level access to that project unless explicitly added with a different membership level.

Note: For the most part, the level of membership conferred to members of an Organization is the same as that conferred to the Organization itself. The one exception to this is when the Organization is the owner of the Project (that is, the Project was created for that Organization). In that case, all members of the organization have contributor rights to those projects.
