Discuss facilitates seamless collaboration by enabling you to invite team members, partners, and stakeholders to your projects, making collaboration effortless.
This FAQ is designed to assist Organization Administrators, Project Owners, and Researchers in understanding how to manage project members effectively and differentiate Researcher Hub and Interactive Meeting Room access.
Our Unlimited Research Model facilitates Scaling Qual Research by assigning seats to your team members, granting them access to your organization subscription. From your subscription, your team members will be able to start a new project.
- If you don't have an annual subscription, team members only need to be added on a project level. View the next section for more information.
For Unlimited Subscriptions :
Researchers required a paid seat and enjoy full access to the Researcher Hub, allowing them to create projects, manage schedules and projects, interview materials, and insights, as well as moderate interviews.
Viewers, unpaid seats, have limited access to the Researcher Hub, with the ability to moderate interviews via the moderator link and view Project Insights with view-only access when log into their Discuss account.

- Adding a member to your organization doesn't automatically give them access to all projects.
You can start your research by inviting your team, partners, and stakeholders to join your Researcher Hub. It's as easy as typing in their email addresses in the "Manage Members" section on the top right of your project overview tab. Then, just assign them roles like Editors, Collaborators, or Viewers based on what they need to do.
Editors can do it all, while Viewers can just watch recordings in your Researcher Hub. The following link will give you more info on what each role can do and who can access Insights & Respondent PII.

Users can join your Discussion as respondents, moderators, observers, and translators, each offering unique views and features. Only moderators and translators need to create an account to join the discussion.
To ensure smooth access, moderators need to be added as project members to your Research Hub before using the moderator link. Observers stay unseen and unheard in the meeting room, utilizing the chat feature to communicate between themselves or to communicate with the moderator. This role is perfect for stakeholders or notetakers joining the discussion.
