Members & Roles

Add people to a workspace and decide what each one can do.

Inviting members

Settings → Members → Invite member. Enter an email address and pick a role.

  • If the email already has a Dokki account, they're added immediately.

  • If not, they receive a sign-up invite. Once they create an account, they're a member of your workspace.

You can invite multiple people at once by pasting a comma-separated list.

Workspace roles

Every member has one workspace role:

Role

Can read

Can edit

Can manage members

Can manage billing

Admin

All resources

All resources

Yes

Yes

Editor

All resources

All resources

No

No

Viewer

All resources

No

No

No

Workspace roles are the default for every resource in the workspace. Document roles override them per-resource (see below).

Document roles

For finer control, set a per-resource role on the Share dialog → People tab:

Document role

What it allows

Owner

Full control, including delete and permissions changes

Editor

Read and edit the resource

Commenter

Read and add comments, but not edit

Viewer

Read only

A document role caps a member's permission for that resource — even if their workspace role would grant more. Use this to restrict a single doc inside an otherwise open workspace.

How resolution actually works

For a given user + resource, Dokki picks the most permissive of:

  1. Document role (if set) — but treated as a cap.

  2. Workspace role.

  3. Public access (if the resource is public).

Concretely:

  • A workspace Editor with no document role on doc X → behaves as Editor.

  • A workspace Editor explicitly set as Viewer on doc X → behaves as Viewer (the document role caps).

  • An anonymous visitor on a public-view doc → behaves as Viewer.

Removing a member

Settings → Members → ⋯ → Remove from workspace. They lose access immediately. Their authored content stays — they just can't see it anymore.

If they're the last admin, you must promote someone else first.

Pricing note

Inviting collaborators requires a Pro workspace. Free workspaces are single-player.
