Member management
Available roles
Each member of a data room is assigned a role:
| Role | Can read | Can upload | Can manage members | Can delete |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Viewer | Yes | No | No | No |
| Contributor | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Manager | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Inviting a member
- Open the data room
- Go to the Members tab
- Click on Invite a member
- Enter the email address and choose the role
- Confirm
The recipient receives an invitation by email. Once accepted, all existing files in the data room are automatically re-encrypted to include the new member's public key — this operation takes place in the browser of the manager who performed the invitation.
The new member can access files uploaded before their invitation: retroactive re-encryption takes care of this. There is nothing to do manually.
Removing a member
- Go to the Members tab of the data room
- Click on Remove next to the relevant member
- Confirm
Upon removal, all files in the data room are re-encrypted without the removed member's key. This re-encryption takes place in your browser. Once complete, the former member can no longer decrypt any file in the data room — including files they had uploaded.
Do not close the browser during re-encryption. If the operation is interrupted, you will be prompted to resume it on your next visit to the data room.
Changing a member's role
From the Members tab, click on a member's role to change it. A role change does not trigger re-encryption — access rights are updated immediately.
Audit and traceability
Data rooms record every access: who viewed or downloaded what and when. This history is accessible to Managers from the Activity tab of the data room.
