Visualize space owners in Quartz

In the Quartz interface, users can click the orange person icon to view all space members. However, there is currently no way for regular users to see which members are space owners.
We propose adding a clear visual indicator of ownership — for example:

  • A dedicated “Owner” column in the member list

  • An icon or badge next to owner names

  • A separate list or toggle to filter only owners

The specific UI method is flexible; the key requirement is that end-users can easily identify who the space owners are.

Practical use of functionality?

Making space ownership visible in Quartz would significantly increase transparency for users and reduce unnecessary administrative friction.
Today, only System Administrators can see the list of space owners. Since many organisations (including ours) have only a small number of system admins, simple requests — such as identifying who can adjust configurations or permissions — often become bottlenecks.

By exposing space ownership directly in Quartz, project teams can quickly find the correct person to contact for configuration needs. This aligns with user expectations from other collaboration and document-management systems, where access levels and owners are readily visible.

What is the impact of not doing this?

The lack of transparency around space ownership creates avoidable overhead for both end-users and administrators. Key impacts include:

  • Increased workload for System Admins. They must repeatedly look up ownership information and route requests, even though the information is simple and static.

  • Project delays. Teams often don’t know who to contact when they need configuration changes, which slows down project startup and ongoing work.

  • Reduced user autonomy and confidence. Users expect modern systems to offer clear visibility of access levels. When this information is missing, the system feels opaque and harder to work with.

  • Unnecessary support tickets. Many organisations will see higher support volume for questions that could be solved with a simple UI indicator.

  • Higher long‑term cost for all customers. As more organisations scale BCDE use, the hidden ownership structure becomes a growing inefficiency.

Enabling space owner visibility brings measurable time savings and a smoother user experience for any customer using BCDE across multiple projects and organisations.

    Hi @Guest ,

    The "More Info / Details" page currently displays the list of owners of the Project - but it is separate from the full list

    The "More Info / Access Rights" page indicates which of the people who have access to the project are owners. But the highlighting is quite subtle.

    Are these mechanisms sufficient today, or is there still the benefit of having who is an owner (admin) displayed in the membership listing?

    Thanks, Paul
