This is because they already have rights at a company level. If you do not want this, you can give users rights at a project level. You can give a user different types of permissions per project, but this must be done manually. Read the following article for more information: [Manage user rights on project level](/v1/docs/manage-user-rights-on-project-level). ## Check a user’s permissions Click **Users** in the navigation menu. ![User management interface displaying search and user details for company users.](https://cdn.document360.io/94d0a983-5058-4b02-8d06-1228a999a7a1/Images/Documentation/2025-08-08 15-20-21.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T13%3A48%3A43Z&se=2026-11-11T14%3A48%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=BYh4mQu%2B6Eo6FMX4wfE%2FtBvq6n56hcEkuRZJrFWh7fw%3D) Click on the user whose permissions you want to view or change.
