I have been using the free account of Freedcamp, a project management system to manage freelance projects with clients for ever.
When Appsumo recently launched Freedcamp’s Business plan for a one-time payment, it was an instant purchase from me (bought 3 codes for the white label).

This article provides some information on how users, teams and permission levels work in Freedcamp.
When you invite a person by their email to a project in Freedcamp, they should be set to belong to one of these teams:
These labels can be changed.
Ex.: Team Player” can be changed to “Team Member”.
Each team is mapped to a corresponding permission level (like a user role in WordPress).
These are the default mappings:
These mappings can be changed as well.
You will most likely be wondering which team should your freelance client belong to.
And the answer is either: Contributor or Guest.
Contributor takes up your plan’s user quota. A single code at AppSumo gives you 3 users across a single project or multiple projects.
To see what all a Contributor can and can not do, scroll to the end.
Typically if your client is the one that is going to direct the ship by adding and managing the tasks, then you will want him/her to be added as a Contributor.
Guests cannot be assigned to tasks and, as a result, they can not do anything with tasks.
Guests can add comments, manage own comments, upload, and download files.
Guest will NOT be included in your paid plan users quota.
If your client is not savvy about website building (assuming you are a WordPress website developer) and relies totally on you to manage the tasks and only want to add comments you add them as guests.
You can change the team a user belongs to any time.
