Orchidea has 4 user levels.
- Managers are the people who control Orchidea and can organize workshops, innovation challenges and other innovation activities.
- Members are users of Orchidea who are registered and can participate in all activities, but do not manage the activities.
- Guests are users invited to have access to single events, such as workshops, the development of a particular idea, or innovation challenges at Orchidea. Guests must register to Orchidea in order to participate.
- Visitors are users who only have access to public channels or challenges as defined in advance. Visitors don't need to sign in.

The workspace is home to all your innovation activities at Orchidea. All channels, innovation challenges and workshops are found here. In other plans there is one workspace available, except in the Enterprise plan you can create multiple ones.

An active channel/challenge/workshop is one in which you can participate. For example, once it is archived, it is no longer active.

Instead of a trial, you can explore Orchidea for as long as you like with the free version.
