# RFI Roles and Permissions

> Find out who on your project can send, view, and manage RFIs.

Access to a project's RFIs depends on two things: you must belong to the **company that owns the project**, and you must have a **role on that project**.

## What each role can do

| Project role | Send RFIs | View RFIs and PDFs | Extend deadlines | Drafts |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| **Admin** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Own only |
| **Creator** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Own only |
| **Editor** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Own only |
| **Viewer** | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| **Collaborator from another company** | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| **Company member not on the project** | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |

## Things to know

* **Only Admins, Creators, and Editors see Send RFIs.** The **Send RFIs** button in the schedule toolbar only appears if you can send RFIs on the project.
* **Collaborators from other companies can't access RFIs.** If you invite someone from another firm to your project, they can't see the RFIs dashboard, RFI details, or PDFs. Your RFI correspondence stays within your company.
* **Company membership alone isn't enough.** You also need a role on the specific project.
* **Drafts are private.** You only see the drafts you saved yourself.
* **Sent RFIs can't be deleted or canceled** by anyone. Only unsent drafts can be deleted.
* **Deadlines can only be extended while an RFI is overdue.** See [RFI deadlines and overdue RFIs](https://docs.acelabusa.com/help-center/working-on-projects/rfi/rfi-deadlines-and-overdue-rfis.md).
* **Conversation membership doesn't grant RFI access.** See [RFI conversations](https://docs.acelabusa.com/help-center/working-on-projects/rfi/rfi-conversations.md).

Anyone with access to the project's RFIs can view the dashboard. Viewers can see RFIs but can't send them or extend deadlines.

To change someone's project role, see [Managing Project Collaborators](https://docs.acelabusa.com/help-center/working-on-projects/managing-project-collaborators.md).
