These users can either contribute to the project's content and functionality or manage the project settings. To control what each user can do, Contentstack Personalize utilizes 'roles.' These roles determine the specific actions a user is allowed to perform within the project based on their assigned level of access. Essentially, roles define the boundaries of a user's permissions and responsibilities. ## Prerequisites * [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login/) * A Personalize project * Organization [Owner and Admin](/docs/administration/about-administration-roles), or Project Owner permissions ## What You Will Learn * The Personalize roles and what each one can do. * How to invite a user to a Personalize project. * How to remove a user from a Personalize project. ## Roles and Capabilities **Roles** **Capabilities** Organization Owner/Admin Full access to all actions and settings at the organization level, including the ability to manage the project and its resources (Experiences, Audiences, Attributes, and Events).
