Understanding Project Members
Last updated: March 11, 2026
Project members are the people participating in a project. This includes both internal users from your organization and customer users who access the project through the Customer Portal.
Members can be responsible for completing tasks, collaborating through comments, and helping move the project forward.
Project members are managed from the Members panel in the upper-right corner of a project.
Viewing Project Members
To view members on a project:
Open a Project
Click the Members section in the upper-right corner
This opens the Project Members panel, where you can see all participants in the project.
You will see:
Internal users
Customer users
Removed users (for historical visibility)
You can filter the list using the tabs at the top:
All
Internal
Customer
Adding Project Members
You can add users to a project directly from the Members panel.
Add an Internal User
Click + Internal User
Select the internal user to add
Add a Customer User
Click + Customer User
Choose to:
Add an existing customer user, or
Create a new one by entering their name and email
Customer users can then be invited to the Customer Portal.

Inviting and Managing Customer Users
Removing Project Members
If a user no longer needs access to a project, they can be removed from the Members panel.
If the User Has Assigned Tasks
If the user has incomplete tasks assigned, you will be prompted to reassign those tasks before the user can be removed.
To remove the user:
Select another project member from the reassignment dropdown
Confirm the removal
All open tasks will be reassigned to the selected member.
If the User Has No Assigned Tasks
If the user has no open tasks assigned, you will simply confirm the removal.
No reassignment will be required.
Removed Users in the Member List
After a user is removed, they will still appear in the Project Members list, but their status will show:
Removed from project
This allows teams to see who previously participated in the project while preventing that user from accessing the project.
Removed users:
Cannot access the project
Cannot view tasks or portal content
Remain visible in the member list for historical reference
Internal vs Customer Users
Internal Users
Internal users belong to your organization and have access to OnRamp.
They typically manage the project and may:
Assign tasks
Update project data
Complete internal work
Coordinate with customers
Customer Users
Customer users are external participants who access the project through the Customer Portal.
They can:
Complete customer-facing tasks
Upload files
Answer questions
Comment on tasks
They only see tasks configured to be visible to customers.
Best Practices
✔ Add the core onboarding team early
✔ Assign clear task owners
✔ Invite customer stakeholders who will complete tasks
✔ Reassign tasks before removing users when possible
Keeping project membership organized helps ensure tasks remain clearly assigned and projects continue moving forward smoothly.
