# Member settings

> Workspace roles, permissions, and managing members

## Overview

Each workspace has role-based user permissions.

Every member is assigned one role: **Owner**, **Admin**, or **Member**. The role defines what they can view, create, update, and delete across the workspace.

## Roles

| Role       | Description                                                                                                                                    |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Owner**  | The workspace creator. Has full control over all resources, including deleting the workspace itself. There is exactly one owner per workspace. |
| **Admin**  | A trusted manager. Can invite and remove members, change roles, and manage all shared resources.                                               |
| **Member** | A regular collaborator. Can create and use resources, but can only update or delete the things they created themselves.                        |
