# Organization and Account Roles

## **Roles Management**

There are different levels of Roles within the **Organization Manager**. The **Organization Roles** are sets of permissions set by the Organization Owner when creating or editing users. **Account Roles** are sets of permissions that define the actions a user may perform within an account. Account Roles are set when assigning users to accounts.

### **Organization Roles**

There are three Organization Roles: Owner, Member (Supply Manager), and Member.

| **Org Role** | **Permissions** |
| --- | --- |
| Owner | Full administrative rights to the Organization and all Accounts |
| Member (Supply Manager) | Access to all Accounts, focused mainly on organization-level Inventory (Deals and Exchanges) management |
| Member | Only able to view the Accounts that the Owner adds them to. Account access can be managed by assigning to an Account Role |

### **Account Roles**

In addition to the permissions given in the **Organization Roles**, you can select specific roles for the **Accounts** within your organization. These are the Account Roles and their permissions.

| **Account Role** | **Permissions** |
| --- | --- |
| Account Admin | All permissions are enabled. |
| Account Viewer | Viewing permissions are enabled for all the Applications within the Account. This role has no permissions for applications, users, or Account Roles. |
| Account Manager | All application permissions are enabled. This role has no permissions for Users or Account Roles |

The **Account Admin** and **Account Viewer** roles are system-generated Account Roles and will exist by default in each account. Organization owners can also create custom roles.

### **Add an Account Role**

1. Click the Account Roles tab on the left-hand menu to create a custom Account Role.
2. Click on the **New Account Role** button on the right-hand side of the screen.

1. Enter the Account Role name and toggle permissions as desired. The options available when setting up new account roles will differ depending on whether the organization is marketer-only, publisher-only, or mixed. For example, if you want to give a member access to **Manage User Access**, you can **Enable All** in the **Planning & Audience** section.
