# User roles
|
|
|
|
{!user-roles-intro.md!}
|
|
|
|
You can also manage permissions with [custom user groups](/help/user-groups).
|
|
|
|
## Roles
|
|
|
|
* **Organization owner**: Can manage users, public channels, organization
|
|
settings, and billing. Organization owners can do anything that an
|
|
organization administrator can do.
|
|
|
|
* **Organization administrator**: Can manage users, public channels, and
|
|
organization settings. Cannot make someone an owner, or change an existing
|
|
owner's role.
|
|
|
|
* **Moderator**: Can do anything that members can do, plus additional
|
|
permissions [configured](/help/manage-permissions) by
|
|
your organization.
|
|
|
|
* **Member**: This is the default role for most users. Members have access to
|
|
all public channels. You can [configure different
|
|
permissions](/help/restrict-permissions-of-new-members) for **new members**
|
|
and **full members**, which is especially useful for [moderating open
|
|
organizations](/help/moderating-open-organizations). New members automatically
|
|
become full members after a configurable waiting period.
|
|
|
|
* **Guest**: Can view and send messages in channels they have been subscribed to.
|
|
Guests cannot see other channels, unless they have been specifically subscribed
|
|
to the channel. See [guest users documentation](/help/guest-users) for additional
|
|
details and configuration options.
|
|
|
|
* **Billing administrator**: The user who upgrades the organization to
|
|
a paid plan is, in addition to their normal role, a billing
|
|
administrator. Billing administrators can manage billing for the organization.
|
|
For example, someone from your billing department can be a **billing
|
|
administrator**, but not an **administrator** for the organization.

An organization owner can change the role of any user. You can make yourself no
|
|
longer an owner only if there is at least one other owner for your organization.
|
|
An organization administrator cannot make someone an owner, or change an
|
|
existing owner's role.
