# Members and Roles (https://terac.com/docs/researchers/team/members-and-roles)

Invite team members and manage access with role-based permissions.

Terac uses role-based access control (RBAC) to manage what each team member can do within your organization.

## Inviting Members [#inviting-members]

1. **Go to Settings**

   Navigate to your organization's Settings page and select **Members**.

2. **Send an invitation**

   Enter the email address of the person you want to invite and select their role.

3. **They accept**

   The invitee receives an email with a link to join your organization. Once they accept, they appear in the members list with the assigned role.

## Roles and Permissions [#roles-and-permissions]

Terac has three roles: **Owner**, **Admin**, and **Member**. Owner and Admin differ only around ownership and removing other admins; Member is a read-only role by default.

| Permission                     | Owner | Admin | Member |
| ------------------------------ | ----- | ----- | ------ |
| View the organization          | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |
| Create and edit opportunities  | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| Launch, pause, and stop        | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| Review and approve submissions | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| Create and edit projects       | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| Invite and manage members      | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| View finance and add credits   | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| Edit organization settings     | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| Configure SSO                  | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| Delete opportunities           | Yes   | Yes   | No     |
| Remove admins                  | Yes   | No    | No     |
| Transfer ownership             | Yes   | No    | No     |
| Delete the organization        | Yes   | No    | No     |

> Member is read-only. Anyone who needs to build, launch, or review studies
> needs Admin. You can see exactly which permissions each role carries under
> Settings, then **Roles & Permissions**.

## Managing Members [#managing-members]

From the Members page you can:

* **Change roles** - update a member's role at any time
* **Remove members** - revoke access to the organization
* **Transfer ownership** - hand over the Owner role to another member (Owner only)

## Pending Invitations [#pending-invitations]

Invitations that have not been accepted yet appear in a separate section. You can:

* Resend the invitation email
* Cancel the invitation
* See when it was sent

## Multiple Organizations [#multiple-organizations]

Team members can belong to multiple organizations. Each organization has its own roles, billing, and projects. Members switch between organizations using the org switcher in the dashboard.
