Tresorit Engage uses role-based permissions to ensure least-privilege access, protecting room content and clearly defining what each participant can and cannot do.
Subscription roles vs. room permissions
Tresorit subscription roles (admin or user) control what members can manage at the subscription level. Engage room permissions are separate – they define what participants can do inside a room.
ℹ️ A Tresorit subscription doesn't automatically grant access to Engage rooms; a Tresorit Engage license is required.
