Access levels

Setting	Controls
Engine role (`admin`, `member`, `viewer`)	Dashboard and management access
Thread access level	Operations and notifications within a thread
Contract role, such as `processor`	Which party may report a contract step

Thread permissions

The current bundled runtime permissions are:

Access level	Operations	Notifications
Owner	Read, write, invite, end	All
Participant	Read, write, end	Own step outcomes and validation results
Observer	Read and write	Critical, timeout, and retry-limit violations
External	Read own data; write	Own step outcomes

Observer currently includes write permission. Do not treat that name as a read-only guarantee. See the bundled role definitions. Choose accessLevel when inviting a party. Its role separately identifies the contract party. Direct joins use participant access; invitation joins use the granted access level. For Engine users and API keys, see authentication.
