# Roles & Permissions

Transparency Hub Network uses role-based access control (RBAC) to manage what each user can see and do within an association.

## Default Roles

| Role             | Members      | Events       | Payments     | Settings | Workflows |
| ---------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | -------- | --------- |
| **Owner**        | Full         | Full         | Full         | Full     | Full      |
| **Admin**        | Full         | Full         | Full         | Edit     | Edit      |
| **Moderator**    | View/Edit    | Full         | View         | View     | View      |
| **Chapter Lead** | Chapter only | Chapter only | Chapter view | —        | —         |
| **Member**       | Self only    | View/RSVP    | Self only    | —        | —         |

## Assigning Roles

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Members">
    Navigate to **Members** and select the member you want to update.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change Role">
    In the member's profile, select the new role from the **Role** dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Confirm the change. The member's permissions update immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Custom Permissions

<Info>
  Custom roles are available on the **Pro** and **Enterprise** plans. Contact [support@transparencyhubnetwork.ai](mailto:support@transparencyhubnetwork.ai) for details.
</Info>

Custom roles let you define granular permissions for:

* Member management (view, create, edit, delete)
* Event management
* Payment viewing and recording
* Settings access
* Workflow configuration

## Best Practices

<Tip>
  Follow the **principle of least privilege** — assign the minimum role needed for each person's responsibilities. You can always elevate access later.
</Tip>

* Keep the number of **Owners** small (1–2 people)
* Use **Chapter Leads** to delegate regional management
* Review role assignments quarterly
