# Members & roles

> The roles in an AutoSage organization and exactly what each one can do.

Every person in an organization is a **member**, and every member has a **role**. Roles decide what each person can see and change — from reading content to managing billing and the organization itself. Assigning the right role keeps day-to-day work smooth while keeping account administration in the right hands.

## The roles

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Owner" icon="crown">
    Full control of the organization: managing members and roles, billing, and the organization itself. There is a single owner, and ownership can be transferred to another member.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Billing admin" icon="credit-card">
    An administrative role just below owner. Manages billing and can create, update, and delete day-to-day resources such as tenants, knowledge bases, documents, agents, and chats.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Developer" icon="code">
    Works with documents and chats without organization-level administration. Developers can inspect knowledge bases and agents, but cannot configure either resource.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Viewer" icon="eye">
    Read-only access across the organization.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## What each role can do

Read (**R**), write/create (**W**), and delete (**D**) by resource:

| Resource        | Owner | Billing admin | Developer | Viewer |
| --------------- | ----- | ------------- | --------- | ------ |
| Organization    | R W D | R             | R         | R      |
| Members & roles | R W D | R             | R         | R      |
| Billing         | R W   | R W           | R         | R      |
| Environments    | R W D | R W           | R         | R      |
| Tenants         | R W D | R W D         | R         | R      |
| Knowledge bases | R W D | R W D         | R         | R      |
| Documents       | R W D | R W D         | R W       | R      |
| Agents          | R W D | R W D         | R         | R      |
| Chats           | R W D | R W D         | R W       | R      |

<Info>
  The Owner always has full access to everything in the organization. Only the Owner can invite or remove members, assign roles, and revoke invitations.
</Info>

## Ownership and membership

<Steps>
  <Step title="One owner per organization">
    Each organization has exactly one owner. To hand over control, **transfer ownership** to another member from the members screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The last owner stays">
    You can't remove the last owner. Transfer ownership first, and the previous owner can then be reassigned or removed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Members can belong to many organizations">
    A single person can be a member of more than one organization, holding a different role in each.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Give people who upload documents and work in chats the **Developer** role. Use **Owner** or **Billing admin** for people who need to create or configure knowledge bases and agents, delete working resources, administer the account, or manage billing.
</Tip>
