# Collaborator roles and permissions

### The two Steeple roles

Steeple distinguishes two main roles:

* **Administrator** : full access to the organization's administration (managing employees, communities, applications, TV screens, settings, etc.)
* **Member** : access to the app's features (Posts, Messaging, Directory, events, etc.) without access to Administration

### What each role can do

#### Administrator

* Manage employees (add, edit, suspend, remove)
* Manage communities and their members
* Manage applications (hide/show)
* Manage TV screens
* Access the organization's statistics and settings
* Everything a member can do

#### Member

* Post in the communities they are a member of
* View the Directory and profiles
* Use Messaging
* Access visible applications (Posts, Jobs, Documents, Calendar)

### Organization administrator or community administrator

* Being the administrator of the **main community**, means being **the organization administrator** : you administer all communities, as well as Administration.
* Being an administrator of another community **other community** only grants rights on that one (for example: administrator of the Commerce community, regular member of the others).

### Assign community administrators

{% hint style="info" %}
You can now assign community administrators from the**Communities Space** : see [How do you designate the administrators of a community?](/en/communautes/gerer-administrateurs-communaute.md).
{% endhint %}

From Administration:

1. Go to **Administration** > **Collaborators** (`/administration/users`), then open the employee's profile.
2. Click on the number of **communities** the employee is in, then on **Edit access**.
3. For each community, choose the employee's role: **Member** or **Administrator**. On the main community, the administrator role is called **Global Admin**.
4. Click **Confirm the selection**, then on **Save**.

### Administrator role on the main and dynamic communities

The administrator role can be granted on **all community types** : the main, manual communities and dynamic communities.

For the main community and dynamic communities, members are **managed automatically** by Steeple. The administrator role is then tied to the employee's presence in the community:

* If the employee leaves the community (for example following a change of department or location, or a new membership rule, which removes them from a dynamic community), their administrator role is automatically removed. See [How do you modify the membership rule of a dynamic community?](/en/communautes/regle-appartenance.md).
* If you want to give it back later, you will have to reassign it manually.

### Important restriction

There must always be **at least one administrator** in the organization. It is impossible to remove the administrator role from the last remaining administrator.
