Miro uses role-based access control to manage what a user can see or do in the product. Roles are defined on the level of Boards, Projects, Teams, and Companies. Some of the user roles may be inter-dependent, require a specific type of subscription, or that the user has a paid license.
The role defines the functionality available to them in Miro and also may define the price of your subscription.
Roles on boards

- If a user already has a role on a specific board, the role with maximum access takes effect.
- When their membership in a project is revoked, the user loses project-incurred access rights and retains only the roles on boards received directly.
Role in a project can be received directly by invitation or indirectly by default sharing settings on the team level.
