Access levels overview

NOTE
The information in this article refers to the legacy access levels. For information about the current access levels, see New access levels overview.

As an Adobe Workfront administrator, you assign an access level to a user for 2 purposes:

  • Each user must have an access level in order to log in and work in Workfront.
  • Access levels control what a user can see and do with certain Workfront objects and areas.

Each of the six built-in access levels is attached to one of the five Workfront licenses: Plan, Work, Review, Request, and External.

External is an unpaid license designed primarily for sharing documents with collaborators who don’t use Workfront.
