# Employee roles and permissions

### The two Steeple roles

Steeple distinguishes two main roles:

* **Administrator** : full access to organization administration (management of 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 belong to
* View the directory and profiles
* Use messaging
* Access the visible applications (News, Jobs, Docs, Events)

### Change an employee's role

1. Go to **Administration** > **Employees** (`/administration/users`)
2. Search for and click on the relevant employee.
3. Click on **Edit**.
4. Edit the field **Role** (administrator or member).
5. Save the changes.

#### Single-community case

If the organization has only one community, the role applies globally:

#### Multiple-community case

With multiple communities, the role can differ by community (for example: administrator in the Commerce community, member in the others).

#### Administrator role on the main and dynamic communities

The administrator role can be assigned on **all types of communities** : the main one, 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 department or site change that removes them from a dynamic community), their administrator role is automatically removed.
* If you want to give it back later, it will need to be reassigned 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.
