Explanation (rough draft of help article)
Project roles and permissions provide different access levels to team members based on their project responsibilities. This ensures team members can collaborate effectively according to their assigned role. There are four roles in the project.
Viewer: Can view but can't add comments or edit the project.
Commenter: Can comment, but can't edit anything in the project.
Editor: Can add, edit, and delete anything in the project.
Project admin: Full access to change settings, modify, or delete the project.
Note: 'Change my role to project admin' button will always be there for Admin (at the product level).
