# 4 Concepts You Need First

> Separate accounts, workspaces, roles, and farm scope before you go deeper

These four terms make the rest of the permissions docs much easier to understand.

## 1. Account

Your account is your login identity. It answers one question: **who are you**.

One account can join multiple workspaces. Your role and farm scope can be different in each workspace.

## 2. Workspace

A workspace is the team space where people collaborate. Members, farms, miners, tasks, and settings all belong to a workspace.

Most permissions apply only inside the workspace you are currently in.

## 3. Role

A role defines your default responsibility boundary. It answers: **what kind of work are you expected to do**.

The common roles in Nonce are **Admin**, **Manager**, **Member**, and **Viewer**.

## 4. Farm Scope

Farm scope determines which farms, miners, and tasks you can access. It answers: **which resources can you see and operate on**.

Two users can have the same role and still see different data if their assigned farm scope is different.

<Tip>
  When access does not look right, do not check only the role. The fastest path is: `Role -> Farm Scope`.
</Tip>

The formula to remember is:

`Final Access = Role + Farm Scope`
