[send them an invitation](/help/invite-new-users), and later [change a user's
|

role](/help/roles-and-permissions#change-a-users-role) if needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* **Organization administrator**: Can manage users, public streams,

your organization.

|

|
* **Member**: This is the default role for most users. Members have access to

all public streams. 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 streams they have been added to.
|

|
Guests cannot see other streams, unless they have been specifically added to
|

the stream. See [guest users documentation](/help/guest-users) for additional

details and configuration options.
