Annotation Permissions

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.
