- The role they're assigned in the group.
- The maximum role you choose when you invite the group.
+If a user has a group role with fewer permissions than the maximum project role, the user keeps the permissions of their group role.
+For example, if you add a user with the Guest role to a project with a maximum role of Maintainer, the user has only the permissions of the Guest role.

Prerequisites:
- You must have the Maintainer or Owner role.
