# Roles and access

Understand Viewer, Admin and Owner permissions in each LicenseMeter workspace.

LicenseMeter uses three workspace roles. These govern what a person can do inside LicenseMeter; they do not assign Microsoft or SaaS administrator roles.

| Role             | Access                                                                                           |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Viewer (finance) | Read dashboards, findings and exports. Cannot make changes.                                      |
| Admin            | Run syncs, edit prices, change settings, manage connectors and invite people.                    |
| Owner            | Admin capabilities, plus managing owners, changing who can join and disconnecting the workspace. |

Follow [Invite colleagues and manage access](/workspace/members.md) for the exact **Settings > Members** workflow, invitation expiry, approval requests and company-domain policies. Use Viewer for people who only need reports and cost visibility. Assign Admin when the person needs to maintain the workspace. Reserve Owner for people responsible for its access and lifecycle.

Inviting a person gives access to the workspace's organizational data according to the assigned role. Confirm the email address and role before sending an invitation. Review membership when responsibilities change.

If a control is missing or read-only, check your workspace role and whether you are in the sample workspace. The sample workspace intentionally prevents changes even though it displays a demonstration owner.

Signing into LicenseMeter does not grant provider access. The provider's consent or credential setup is handled separately on its [connector page](/connectors.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.licensemeter.com/workspace/roles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
