# Managing users and roles

Updating user roles and removing them from your workspace

## Understanding the user roles

There are five workspace roles in Tability:

* **Read-only (only on Premium):** these users can view and comment on the data in a workspace, but they're not allowed to edit goals or track progress with check-ins.
* **User:** regular users can create goals, track progress and give feedback.
* **IT admin:** IT admins can manage selected security and developer settings without access to the workspace's goals.
* **Admin:** admins can update workspace settings and manage users, but they cannot manage the subscription or delete the workspace.
* **Owner:** owners are the only users that can update the billing information and delete the workspace.

|                           | Read-only | User | IT admin | Admin | Owner |
| ------------------------- | --------- | ---- | -------- | ----- | ----- |
| View and comment on goals | ✅         | ✅    | ❌        | ✅     | ✅     |
| Create and update goals   | ❌         | ✅    | ❌        | ✅     | ✅     |
| Manage relevant settings  | ❌         | ❌    | ✅        | ✅     | ✅     |
| Manage billing            | ❌         | ❌    | ❌        | ❌     | ✅     |
| Delete the workspace      | ❌         | ❌    | ❌        | ❌     | ✅     |

Admins and owners can also make a person a **Plan admin**. This is an additional permission, not a workspace role. Plan admins can manage plans when workspace access rules restrict plan creation or deletion.

## Updating a user role

Follow these steps to update the role of a user.

1. Select **Settings** in the left sidebar.
2. Select **Users** under **User & team management**.
3. Find the user that you need to update and click on their name.
4. Choose their **Role**. You can also update their **Plan admin** and API access settings when available.
5. Click **Save**.

An admin can manage admins, IT admins, users, and read-only members. Only an owner can assign or remove the Owner role.

## Removing a user from your workspace

Follow these steps to remove a user from your workspace.

1. Select **Settings** in the left sidebar.
2. Select **Users** under **User & team management**.
3. Find the user you need to remove and click their name.
4. In the danger zone, click **Remove user from workspace** and confirm the action.

Removing someone revokes their access to the workspace. It does not delete their Tability account.
