Subscription Required: The Project Contributor Role is available on select subscription plans only. Contact Support to learn more: Send an email to Support

Project Contributor is a free license type that has limited access to Projects. A Project Contributor is only able to see, respond to, and review questions that have been assigned to them.

A Project Contributor is a locked permissions license, intended for users who only need occasional access to answer Project questions or review responses. They are typically your subject matter experts or final approvers.
