# User Permissions

## Account Manager

In Cubicl, an organization account is created by a person. The person who creates the account and starts the trial becomes the **First Account Manager**. The first Account Manager has the following permissions:

* Add or remove members from the organization
* Grant or remove Account Manager permissions for other members
* Manage subscription and payment operations
* Manage pages such as clients, deals, and bookkeeping
* Create projects and add members to projects

People added by the first account manager as account managers also have the same permissions, except for "Manage pages such as clients, deals, and bookkeeping".

Every organization must have at least one Account Manager. If the first Account Manager grants another member the Account Manager role, the first Account Manager can then be removed from the organization. In this case, the Account Manager permissions transfers to the member who was granted the role.

Account Managers can perform the necessary actions from the **Organization** page.

### Organization Members / Users

People who are invited to the organization by an Account Manager and create a user account—but are not granted Account Manager permissions—are defined as **“users.”**

A person cannot access projects, tasks, messages, or any other content within Cubicl unless they are invited to the organization. In other words, they cannot sign in to the organization’s Cubicl account.

Account manager and user permissions can be viewed on the [Organization page](https://cubicl.io/org/overview).

## Project Permissions

Project permissions can be configured while creating a project or afterward through **Settings > Members**.

Permissions can be assigned for:

* Project admins
* Project members
* Non-members
* And individually per user

Permission levels are structured progressively as **None, View, Create, Edit, and Delete**. For example, a user with **Edit** permission can view, create, and edit content.

### Project Admins

Project Admins have full authority within a project. They can:

* Add or remove project members
* Grant or revoke project admin permissions
* View, create, edit, and delete all project content

Since projects follow a hierarchical structure, a project admin also has manager permissions for all subprojects linked to that project. For example, if a person is an admin in a parent project, they can access, view, or edit subprojects unless those subprojects are marked as private.

#### Project Admin vs. Account Manager

The **Account Manager** and **Project Admin** roles are completely independent from each other. This means a user may:

* Be both an Account Manager and a Project Admin,
* Be only one of them, or
* Have neither role and simply remain a regular user.

These roles do not interfere with each other; each provides its own permissions within its own scope.

### Project Members

Project members are users who have been added to the relevant project as a member. By default, they have permission to view and contribute content. You can change permissions for each page in the project later.

### Non-Project Members

These are people who are users in the organization but are not members of the relevant project. By default, they have permission to view the contents. Therefore, if you do not want non-project members to see the content, you should change the permissions to None later. You can change permissions for each page in the project.

### User-Based

You can set different permission levels for users in your projects. You need to select a user in the project permissions field to set permissions for that user. You can set user-based permissions to increase or decrease their permission levels.&#x20;

If permissions are not set for a user, project permissions set for "Members" or "Non-Project Members" are used.

### Exceptions

Some users may have some exceptions depending on the situation. Even if a user does not have permission in a project:

* She can see the tasks assigned to her or created by her, post in these tasks, update the state and progress of the task, upload files.
* She can archive, edit, and delete tasks created by herself.
* She can delete activity posts created by herself.

## Page Permissions

You can set user permissions for all pages separately in Cubicl. You can make different authorizations for the Clients, Bookkeeping, Deals, Email Boxes, Forms, Workflows, Client Portal, Time Offs and Workflows pages. On these pages, permissions can be set for all users or specifically for each user.

To set up the same level of permission for all users, use the **Default Permission** field. But if you add different level permission to each member, use **User Permissions**.&#x20;

The first account manager in the organization has full permissions. Other account managers will have the Default permission level unless a different setting is selected.

![User Permissions](https://3670270150-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LbxWaexmzqc9FHYL1l4%2F-Mb7iO4TykoQtfNHSOGh%2F-Mb7iRymi-T8WIuWbLhS%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=6bf90977-68d6-4c20-8ce8-1c4f60994efb)

You can click the **User Permissions** button and edit the default and user-based permission levels, and then save them. The permission levels you save will only apply to that page.
