# Role-based access guide

This guide explains how to manage team roles within the platform to control access and permissions effectively.

## Understanding user roles

Roles determine the level of access and permissions users have within the platform.

| Role   | Permissions                                               |
| ------ | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Owner  | Manage all users                                          |
| Admin  | Add/remove users, resend invites                          |
| Member | Access platform resources (no administrative permissions) |

Only `Owners` and `Admins` can access the Settings section.

### Managing users
