You can assign BlackBerry Workspaces users to one or more roles. These roles determine what tasks users can perform and what content they can access.

In the BlackBerry Workspaces Web Application, users can also define non-administrative roles for other users in the workspace Permissions tab when sharing workspaces and documents.

In some cases, BlackBerry Workspaces users are automatically assigned certain roles. For example, users who have a file shared with them, or who are invited by a workspace administrator to become an administrator or contributor, are automatically added to BlackBerry Workspaces with certain user roles.

In some cases, BlackBerry Workspaces automatically assigns roles to users. For example, when you share a file with a user or invite them to become an administrator or contributor, the BlackBerry Workspaces automatically adds them with the appropriate roles.
