# Roles & Permissions

Kick uses two types of roles: **Organization** and **Workspace**. Organization roles belong to your firm's team members. Workspace roles belong to client-side users within a specific client's books.

***

### Organization roles

Organization roles control firm-level access: clients, team invites, and billing.

* **Admin:** Full firm-level access, including billing. Can manage all users, clients, workspaces, and settings.
* **Manager:** Same as Admin, but cannot manage billing. Can manage clients and invite users to workspaces.
* **Member:** Limited administrative access. You can select which clients they have access to.

|                                                    | Admin                           | Manager                         | Member                          |

### Workspace roles

Workspace roles control what client-side users can do within a specific client's books.

* **Admin:** Full control within the client workspace. Can manage workspace users, entities, accounts, and all accounting features.
* **Accountant:** Can perform all core accounting tasks. Cannot invite Admins to the workspace or remove accounts. This role would likely be used to your client's financial advisor or an accountant outside of your firm.
* **Member:** Can view and collaborate on most features, but restricted from administrative actions like adding locks, editing the chart of accounts, or inviting other users.

|                                                     | Admin                           | Accountant                      | Member                          |
