User role considering different workspaces.
Also, if a user was granted a Member role in old workspaces, will one have at least a Member role in new workspaces, despite the fact that the one was granted a Viewer role?
Hi Anonymous ，
The roles in one workspace won't relates to the role in another workspace. the authority won't interconnected between workspaces. the sentence means if you are in the several user groups, such as security groups, Office 365 groups, and distribution lists. but security groups was set as viewer in the new workspace, (you must know new workspace can assign the role to whole group not only individual)
Office 365 groups set as contributor, distribution lists set as member, then you'll get the highest permission of member.
Is there a way of finding out what the highest role that will be assigned to a user? As sometimes it is quite difficult to know all the groups the one belongs to. Therefore, there is a chance that undeliberately this person can get a higher access rights.
Hi Anonymous ,
I don't think there's quick way to get this, but the possible method is you can find the group lists that the user belongs to in admin portal(The precondition is you are the global admin), provided that you've got the group lists, then you can find the permission for each group in workspace access, thus the highest role come out.
If my above post helps, could you please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly. thanks!
Unfortunatelly, I am not a global admin. Therefore, the suggested solution would not work for me.
