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. Assign Annotation Access

​
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.
Annotation permissions are organization-wide but control visibility and access at the project level.
Pair Annotation Access with subset assignment to isolate access to specific data regions.
