User Roles
Admin
Admin is the highest user role.
Admins have full access to the account. They can see, edit and delete assets created by any user in the account.
Admins can also manage users, teams and permissions. Only Admin users can add new users, delete users and change user roles.
User
User is the standard user role.
Users can access and manage their own assets. They can also access and manage assets that have been shared with them personally or through a team, depending on the permission level granted.
Users do not have account-level configuration rights and cannot manage other users.

In Studio, Users can edit their own projects but cannot access or modify projects that do not belong to them.
Viewer
Viewer is the most limited user role.
Viewers can only view assets that they have been permitted to access personally or through a team. They cannot add new assets or edit existing assets.

Permissions
Permissions can be granted either to individual users or to teams. They control which assets users and teams can access, and whether they can view or manage those assets.
Teams are used to group users together so that permissions can be managed more easily. When a team is given access to an asset, all users in that team receive access according to their user role and the permission level granted to the team.
