By default, your Aconex project will have five user roles. User roles control what users can, and can't do, in Aconex. Find out more about what 'Project Admin', 'Org Admin, 'Document Administrator', 'Basic User Plus' and 'Basic User' mean.
Which user roles are assigned by default? When a new user is created, they are automatically assigned the default roles Basic and Basic+. This provides the user with a basic level of access including viewing and sending mail and viewing documents. The Organization Administrator can edit the roles to change which ones are assigned to new organization members by default.
There may also be times when you need to work with someone who doesn't need full access to Aconex. Find out about guest user accounts.

Project Admins — there can be more than one — are responsible for managing the way their project is run on Aconex.
Project Administrators work for the project-owning organization. Project Administrators in the project-owning organization can make changes to project-wide settings. These settings apply to all organizations working on their project.
Project Administrators for a company other than the project-owning organization can administer some settings specific to a project. These settings apply just to their organization's work on that project.
For more information please see the Project Administrator Kit.
A document administrator is a person appointed to manage documents on a particular project for their own organization. By default, Doc Admins are users who are made responsible for particular document control functions.
