# What are Centercode's user roles and access levels?

## Leveraging team types and user roles to set access defaults

This article applies to **All** editions.

**User Roles** and **Team Types** exist to set the minimum and maximum access that a team can possess. For example, an administrator team must have certain admin roles and new administrator teams will have certain roles enabled by default. In contrast, participant teams *can't* have certain roles enabled (especially administrative ones). This is determined by the Team Type / User Role associated with the team.

### User roles

The User Roles described below correspond to the intent of the roles and the default configurations for each - you may have significantly different permissions assigned your Teams with these User Roles, but the purpose of these User Roles should generally align. For example, your internal / employee testers should be on teams with the Member user role.

#### **Community**

- Administrator: Owns the Community and has access to all community data.

- Project Creator: Exclusively creates projects and has no community data access.
- Member: Exists to be a test candidate/participant.

#### **Project**

- Project Manager: Project owner who controls access and structure, having access to all project data.
- Support: Support the Project Manager with Feedback triage and tester management, having access to all project data.
- Observer: Internal Users who can view a Project’s data, but not make any changes. Ideal Observers include; Stakeholders and non-Support Team Members.
- Participant: Provides Feedback and collaborates with other Users on public Feedback.
- Applicant: Exists solely for participant backup and consideration.

### **Account Types and Licensing**

Account Types represent the license a User has and separates Team and Role access. 

There are three Account Types that will determine User Role access:

- Full
- Standard
- Basic

### Notes:

- User Role defaults and intents are the same across all Centercode license editions.
