There are three main roles that a user can be assigned within a portfolio plan: Owner, Participant or Contributor. Each role gives users varying capabilities within a plan.
| Role | Permissions |
| Owner | Owners within the Baseline Plan can manage all portfolio data including field management, project data management, budget and cost data management, user management within the Baseline Plan and can also edit the portfolios name or archive it. |
| Participant | Participants can be given permissions to edit specific fields or projects within a plan but cannot edit the field structure or add or remove fields from the portfolio. Participants can view all non-draft projects within the portfolio. This is the default portfolio role when adding a new user. |
| Contributor | Primarily added through the Idea Engine. Field permissions are inherited through the Idea Engine form and can only view and edit projects they have been added to. View is restricted to the Contributors Projects Table. |
New users added to a portfolio by default get added as Participants, with edit permissions for all projects and all project fields. They will not have permissions to edit Budget or Allocation data.
