# Users and roles

> Invite people to the tenant, and what each role is allowed to do.

**Settings → User Management** lists everyone with access to the tenant, the role each one holds, whether their invitation is still pending, and when they last signed in.

Use **Search user name or email** to find someone in a long list.

## The roles

A user holds one role, and that role decides what they can do everywhere in Studio. There is no per-module or per-card permission to configure — pick the role and you are done.

| Role              | Can                                                                                                                    |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Reader**        | Read everything. No control that changes data is available.                                                            |
| **Contributor**   | Everything a **Reader** can, plus create, edit and delete — sources, cards, segments, entries, media and destinations. |
| **Administrator** | Everything a **Contributor** can, plus manage the team: invite people, change roles and remove users.                  |
| **Data Provider** | A narrow role for integrations rather than people: import data into a data source and manage media files.              |

The three general roles stack, so you only need to decide how far up someone should sit:

**Reader** → **Contributor** → **Administrator**

<Info>
  Throughout these guides, "needs the **Contributor** role" means **Contributor** or **Administrator**. A **Reader** sees the same screens and the same data — the controls that would change something are disabled, and their tooltip says the action is not available for your role.
</Info>

## Invite someone

<Steps>
  <Step title="Press Invite new user">
    Fill in the email address. First and last name are optional — if you leave them out, the person fills them in when they accept.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the role">
    Each role in the list carries a one-line summary of what it grants.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the invitation">
    The person receives an email with instructions to join. Until they accept, they are listed with a **Pending** status.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Change a role, or remove someone

The menu at the end of a user's row holds the actions:

* **Update user role** — swap the role. The change applies to that person's next action; they do not need a new invitation.
* **Resend invitation** — only on users who have not accepted yet.
* **Remove user** — revokes access to this tenant.

<Warning>
  You cannot change your own role or remove your own account. Both actions are disabled on your own row, so an Administrator cannot accidentally lock themselves out — ask another Administrator instead.
</Warning>

<Info>
  Everything on this tab needs the **Administrator** role. Other roles do not see **Settings → User Management** at all, and opening its address directly lands on the access-denied page.
