# User Roles and Permissions in Lucanet xP&A

## Overview

In xP&A, users can control user access and permissions at three levels:

- Organization-level permissions (i.e. user roles, teams)
- Model-level access
- Folder-level access

## Organization-Level Permissions and User Roles

At the **organization** level, there are three user roles with different types of permissions:

- **Administrators:** Administrators can:

 - Create, edit, and share models.
 - Add and remove people to and from the organization
 - Create teams, e.g. **Finance Team** or **Marketing** Team.
- **Editors**: Editors can:

 - Create, edit, and share models
 - Create proposals and accept proposals on the model
- **Data collectors**: Data collectors can propose edits to models with some other actions allowed. They **can:**
 - Write comments
 - Annotate charts
 - Propose changes to variables and dimension items
 - Propose to add, rename, delete or link dimension items\
\
But they **cannot:**
 - Add, delete, or update visuals, variables, groups, and sections
 - Add, delete, or update models, folders, or data sources

- **Viewers**:

 - **Can** view dashboards shared with the organization but **cannot** access underlying models to make changes.
 - **Can** create their own models, but **cannot** share models with the organization.

The user roles are assigned in the **Administration** section of the **Lucanet CFO Solution Platform** (see [User Management](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/administration/user-management.md)).

## Model-Level and Folder-Level Permissions

The permissions a user has for actions on a model depends on the level the model (or the folder the model is contained in) is shared with the user.

Sharing options for an entire model are:

- Full access
- Can edit
- Can create change proposals
- Can view

In addition, a model can be shared **via public or private link** or a only a limited view of the model can be shared.
