When [inviting a team member](https://help.filestage.io/en/articles/1482245-manage-your-team-members.md#to-invite-a-team-member) to Filestage, you can assign them specific roles -_Admin, Manager, or Member_ - based on their responsibilities and access requirements. Moreover, these [roles can be easily switched](https://help.filestage.io/en/articles/1482245-manage-your-team-members.md#h_445702bf5c) later on, giving you the flexibility to adapt as your team evolves. Below, you'll find a table that provides a quick overview of each role's permissions with a more in-depth explanation of each role and its associated permissions. This will provide you with detailed insights into what each team member can or cannot do. * * * ## What are the roles for team members in Filestage? - **Admin:** Best for business owners and company administrators (left column). - **Manager:** Best for employees who need full access to all projects (middle column). - **Member:** Best for anyone who only needs access to specific projects (right column). > **Success:** The _member_ role is available in our Business and Enterprise plans. * * * ## Which permissions do the different roles provide?
