looks like the users I had this testing for had some other high level permissions that were overriding the setttings when applied individually. Tried this on a new dummy user and it all works fine. Thanks for all your support

@amitchandak thanks for the reply. I have already added the user to the role in the workspace using the email address. The user's role is also set to viewer in workspace access. 

 

The workspace is not of premium capacity and also the user does not have a pro licence, does it have any effect on what I am trying to do?
