# User Permission Levels

## Assigning and Managing User Permission Levels

Every user you allow access to Backpack will need to be assigned a permission level depending on how they will utilize Backpack.  Permission levels are up to you and your organizational policies.  We’ve provided some suggestions for permission levels based on job title/position below.

### Permission Level Definitions

- **Administrator:** Has full access to the entire portfolio of properties within the account.  Administrators can:
  
    - Add new users & assign property access
    - Edit existing users & property access
    - Remove users from the account
    - Access & edit all areas of the Backpack
- **Editor**: Has the full capabilities of an Administrator but cannot manage other users. Editors can:
  
    - Access & edit all areas of the Backpack
- **Read-only**: Has access at an editor level but can not add or edit any information in the Backpack.  Read-Only users can: 
    - View all areas of the Backpack
