# User Roles

> Manage your users' permissions in Explo

Use roles to control what your users can see and do in Explo. Each user
is assigned to a role when you invite them, and that role can be reassigned
via the team members page. Explo supports four roles:

* Admin
* Publisher
* Editor
* Viewer

# High Level Role Breakdown

Note that each role has the permissions of the roles before it, e.g. the Publisher role has all the permisisons of the Viewer and Editor roles.

### Assign someone to be a viewer if

* You want them to only be able to see your data (dashboards, data sources, customers, blueprints) in Explo
* You do not want them to be able to make any modifications at all to your data

### Assign someone to be an editor if

* You want them to be able to create new data (dashboards, data sources, customers, blueprints) in Explo
* You want them to be able to make edits to this data BUT you don't want them to be able to make these edits visible to customers via publishing
* You want them to be able to develop your embed locally without affecting your production dashboards

### Assign someone to be a publisher if

* You want them to be able to manage your productionalized dashboards via publishing and settings such as internationalization and email management
* You want them to be able to delete data (dashboards, data sources, customers, blueprints) from Explo

### Assign someone to be an admin if

* You want them to be able to control team settings, such as member invites, roles, and billing
