Roles and accounts

The ProductBuilder Ecosystem recognizes two types of accounts:

  • User
  • Organization

User accounts

A user account represents a person. With a User account, that person can create and save Projects for editing at a later time. To create a Project, the User needs a Viewer. User accounts can also be members of an Organization account.

Organization account

An Organization account represents a legal entity. Organization accounts can create and own Packages and Viewers. An Organization has at least one admin member, that is a User account. An Organization has one or more of the following roles:

  • Manufacturer
