Learn more about permissions
To enable collaboration for a Digital Workspace Platform Extension you need to add contributors to the Extension.
There are five different levels of permissions a contributor can be assigned to, depending on his role in the product lifecycle of the Extension, starting from the Participant, who can only install all published Releases of all visibilities from the Matrix42 Extension Gallery to the Owner who always has all permissions on the Extension which cannot be revoked.
Each of the consecutive levels inherits the permissions of the lower contribution levels:

*A person who created an Extension automatically becomes its Owner and has all permissions for the created Extension and can assign Roles to other persons, so the Owner is not an explicitly set Role.
