Threads User Types: Definitions and Capabilities
This article covers the definitions and capabilities of different user roles in Threads. The first section of the article discusses different user roles as they relate to a single thread. The second section of the article discusses user types within a workspace.
User Roles Related to a Single Thread
Thread Owner
A thread owner is a user who has created a thread. Only users and admins can be thread owners.
Contributor
A contributor is a user who has been added to a thread. All user roles can be contributors. Read on to learn more about each user roles' permissions.
User Roles in a Workspace
Workspace Owner
The workspace owner is the initial member of a given workspace and has the capability to add all other users to the workspace. The workspace owner has all of the same permissions as the workspace admin (described below). The important difference between the two roles is that the workspace owner is considered the owner of the site for all technical purposes and can toggle whether guests are able to see all public threads in a workspace.
Workspace Admin
A workspace admin has elevated privileges and responsibilities for managing and overseeing various aspects of the workspace. There is no limit on the number of workspace admins per workspace, but we recommend only promoting a dedicated team to this permission status. The workspace owner can create admins from the Manage Site Members page. After that, workspace admins can change user types for any users in their workspace.
User
A user on Threads is a standard full-site user. Users are the app's primary use case and have access to the app's core functionality. Similar to guests, users are either added by being added directly to a thread as a contributor or are added by a workspace admin from the Manage Site Members page.
Guest
Guests have limited access to Threads. They are created by adding a user that does not already exist in the workspace to an individual Thread or by a workspace admin adding them from the Manage Site Members page. After this action, they become a guest of the relevant workspace and can be added to other threads. Guests are only able to view and collaborate on threads that they have been added to.
