# Roles and permissions
|
|
|
|
There are several possible roles in a Zulip organization.
|
|
|
|
* **Organization owner**: Can manage users, public streams,
|
|
organization settings, and billing.
|
|
|
|
* **Organization administrator**: Can manage users, public streams,
|
|
and organization settings. Cannot create or demote organization
|
|
owners.
|
|
|
|
* **Moderator**: Have the permissions of full members; additionally,
|
|
many **Organization permissions** settings allow moderators to be
|
|
given additional privileges or do so by default.
|
|
|
|
* **Member**: Has access to all public streams. Member is the default
|
|
role for most users. [Some organization
|
|
settings](/help/restrict-permissions-of-new-members) allow an
|
|
organization to restrict the permissions of **new members**; Members
|
|
who do not have those restrictions are called **full members**.
|
|
|
|
* **Guest**: Can only view or access streams they've been added to.
|
|
[Guest users](/help/guest-users) interact with public streams as
|
|
though they were private streams with shared history. Cannot
|
|
create new streams or invite other users.
|
|
|
|
* **Billing administrator**: The user who upgrades the organization to
|
|
a paid plan is, in addition to their normal role, a billing
|
|
administrator. Can manage billing in addition to the existing
|
|
privileges. This allows someone from the billing department to
|
|
manage billing without needing organization administrator
|
|
permissions.
|
|
|
|
For details of the access control model, see [Stream
|
|
permissions](/help/stream-permissions). You can decide what role to
|
|
invite a user as when you [send them an
|
|
invitation](/help/invite-new-users).
|
|
|
|
Organization owners can do anything an organization administrator can
|
|
do. For brevity, we may sometimes refer to "organization
|
|
administrators" being able to do something; unless stated explicitly,
|
|
this means "organization owners and administrators" can do that thing.
