Understanding Accounts vs. Projects

Accounts and projects are the two main containers in Timequip. Understanding the difference helps you structure teams, permissions, and work clearly.

What is an account?

An account represents an organization, business unit, client, or team workspace. Account-level settings include users, invitations, roles, billing, subscription status, and seat usage.

What is a project?

A project groups related tasks inside an account. Projects have their own board, workflow statuses, task tags, and project members.

How they work together

  • The account controls who belongs to the workspace.
  • Projects organize daily work inside that account.
  • Account Owners and Admins can manage projects across the account.
  • Project Leaders, Editors, and Viewers define what users can do inside each project.

To create a project, continue with Setting Up a New Project. To understand project permissions, see Project Roles: Leader, Editor, Viewer.

Best practices

  • Use accounts for billing and membership boundaries.
  • Use projects for separate products, client engagements, departments, or initiatives.
  • Review project members regularly to keep access focused.
