Athina provides flexible permission controls to manage access to the annotation features across your organization. This ensures that only designated users can create projects, view data, or submit labels.

​

Access Control: Annotation Access

To allow a user to participate in annotation projects, they must have the Annotation Access permission.

You can grant this permission via the Team Members tab in Settings.

​

Available Permission Roles

​

🛠 Admin (with Annotation Access)

• Can create new annotation projects.
• Configure view settings and labels.
• Assign datasets, subsets, and annotators.
• View all metrics and export annotated data.

​

✍️ Annotator (with Annotation Access)

• Can access and annotate assigned datasets or subsets.
• Cannot edit annotation views, manage other users, or export data.
• Can only see projects they’re explicitly assigned to.

​

How to Assign Permissions

1. Go to Settings → Team Members
2. Locate the user you want to update.
3. Use the dropdown to assign:
   • Admin or another base role.
   • Add Annotation Access from the permission list.
4. Changes are saved automatically.

​

Best Practices

• Grant Annotation Access only to those directly involved in labeling.
• Use subset assignments in projects to limit data visibility per user.
• Remove access promptly when users no longer need it.
