Session 7 of the Layer Maker Course
This session covers Layer's permission system at two levels: inside a single project, and across a company that may have many projects, many people, and external collaborators on each one.
By the end of the hour, you'll know how to set roles, scope access to specific fields or categories, bring in consultants and contractors without giving away the full project, and audit who did what.
