Within Teamwork Projects, user permissions and access varies for standard users and collaborators.
Standard users can have full access to your site, and permissions right up to site administrator level if you wish.
When you add a user as a collaborator, they will not count towards the cost of your subscription but they will have reduced permissions compared to standard users.
