    The user has no access to this project and will not be able to see it.
  • Read-only
    The user can view the project, export tables, create new reports, and download saved reports, but cannot make any changes to the project site settings.
  • Read/write
    The user has full access to the project, and will be able to create reports and make changes to the project.
