Partner overview
You’re a partner when dembrane has flagged your organisation as one - a trusted agency, consultancy or research outfit that runs dembrane on behalf of other people. You can do everything an ordinary host can; partner status just adds a few abilities for running work that belongs to a client rather than to you.
The one to know is the external-client workspace: it bills on its own, names a data owner (the client), and quietly invites that client in as a free, read-only observer so they can always watch their own data being handled.
Reach for partner features when the work isn’t really yours - you’re holding conversations, transcripts and reports for someone else, and the data is theirs. A research agency running citizen panels a municipality owns; a consultancy facilitating staff sessions it bills the hospital for and will hand over at the end; a client who should see findings without paying for a seat. If you’re running sessions for your own organisation, none of this applies - the host guides are all you need.
To use any of it you must be a workspace owner or admin inside a partner organisation. The partner flag itself is set by dembrane staff - see becoming a partner.
Note
Partner status doesn't change what your team can do. It changes what kinds of workspaces you can create and how they’re billed and owned. Colleagues still work through their ordinary roles.
