Editor	2	Create and modify content (products, catalogs)
Viewer	1	Read-only access to all resources

Member lifecycle

Invitation

An admin or owner invites a member by email. If allowed_email_domains is set, only matching emails are accepted.

Pending

The invited user receives an email. Their status is pending until they accept.

Active

After accepting, the member has full access based on their assigned role.

Role change

Admins and owners can change a member’s role at any time.

Removal

Members can be removed by admins/owners. Removal is immediate and logged in the audit trail.

Removing the last owner from a workspace is not allowed. Use Transfer Ownership first.
