# Role Overview

> Decide whether someone should be Admin, Manager, Member, or Viewer

Do not start with details. Start with one question: **is this person managing the team, operating farms, carrying out routine miner operations, or only monitoring data?**

| Role        | Best for                                             | What they can do by default                                                                       | Not a fit for                                                     |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Admin**   | Team leads and workspace administrators              | Manage members, workspace settings, API Keys, farm lifecycle, and all farms and miners            | People who only carry out day-to-day tasks                        |
| **Manager** | Senior operators, shift leads, on-site leads         | Manage specific farm configuration, handle daily farm operations, and run high-risk miner actions | People who need to manage members, API Keys, or farm lifecycle    |
| **Member**  | Operators, on-call engineers, third-party developers | View assigned resources and run routine miner operations and tasks                                | People who should manage farm configuration, members, or settings |
| **Viewer**  | Auditors, customers, partners, reporting-only users  | View data and results                                                                             | Anyone who needs to change configuration or run tasks             |

## Admin

Admin is the role for people who run the team. If someone is responsible for members, roles, settings, and access boundaries, give them Admin.

**Good fit for**

* Team leads
* Workspace administrators
* People who need to coordinate multiple farms

**What Admin can usually do**

* Manage members, invitations, and roles
* Manage workspace settings and API Key access
* Create, delete, archive, or unarchive farms
* View and operate across all farms, miners, and tasks

**Not a fit for**

* People who only need read access
* People who only handle routine operations

## Manager

Manager is for operators who manage specific farms. If someone needs to maintain farm configuration, pools, agents, farm workers, IP ranges, automations, firmware updates, pool updates, or high-risk miner actions, Manager is usually the right choice.

**Good fit for**

* Senior operators and shift leads
* On-site leads
* Engineers who need to independently resolve faulty miners

**What Manager can usually do**

* View farms, miners, and tasks inside assigned farm scope
* Update assigned farm metadata, settings, status, IP ranges, farm workers, agents, automations, and pools
* Run farm-managed operations such as firmware updates, pool updates, and pool lock
* Run high-risk miner actions such as delete and archive

**Not a fit for**

* People who need to invite members or change roles
* People who need to modify workspace settings or API Keys
* People who only need to view results

## Member

Member is the role for people doing the work. If someone needs to handle miners, tasks, or field issues but is not responsible for team governance, Member is usually the right choice.

**Good fit for**

* Shift operators
* Field engineers
* Third-party developers helping with debugging or integration

**What Member can usually do**

* View farms, miners, and tasks inside assigned farm scope
* Run routine operations such as reboot, indicator light control, log collection, and power mode adjustments within assigned scope
* Access the data and pages needed for daily operations

**Not a fit for**

* People who need to invite members or change roles
* People who need to modify farm or workspace settings
* People who need firmware updates, pool updates, pool lock, or high-risk miner actions
* People who only need to look at results

## Viewer

Viewer is the role for people who only need visibility. If someone only needs status, reports, or results, Viewer is the safer choice.

**Good fit for**

* External observers
* Audit or compliance users
* Stakeholders and partners who only monitor status

**What Viewer can usually do**

* View data and status for assigned farms
* Review task results, trends, and historical information
* Help confirm site status without changing configuration

**Not a fit for**

* Anyone who needs to run miner operations
* Anyone who needs to modify workspace settings
