A **team** is a group of Meya users who share the same set of permissions. With teams, you can ensure users have just the right amount of access. Here are some teams you might want to create: * An **Admin** team that can invite users and manage their permissions. * A **Contributor** team that has read/write access to all apps. * A **Project X** team that has read/write access only for apps related to a specific project. * A **Viewer** team that can read all apps to help troubleshoot issues, but doesn't have permission to read or modify secrets in [the vault](doc:vault). > 📘 Default teams > > The **Admin** and **Contributor** teams described above are available by default in your account. Keep reading to learn how to create new teams. > 🚧 Creating, modifying, and deleting teams requires the **Admin** permission set. If you don't have this permission set, contact your account's admin to request the team modifications you need. # Permissions For each team, you can configure account-level permissions as well as app-level permissions. In this section, we'll take a look at both types of permissions. ## Account permissions Account permissions determine whether a team member can create, view, modify, or delete apps, teams, and team members, as well as manage billing for your account.

Permission	Description
Viewer	The user can view apps, but not create or modify them. The user cannot manage teams, team members, or billing.
Contributor	The user can create and modify apps, but cannot manage teams, team members, or billing.
Admin	The user can create and modify apps, and can manage teams, team members, and billing.

## App permissions App-level permissions give you fine-grained control over what team members can see and modify. For example, you may want to give a team view-only permissions at the account level, admin access to their project's development apps, view access to their project's production app, and no access to other apps.

Permission	Description
No access	The user won't be able to access the app at all, and the app will not appear in the list when they view the Apps page.
Viewer access (Default)	The user can view app code, but cannot modify code or the vault.
Contributor access	The user can view and modify app code and the vault.
Admin access	The user can view and modify app code and the vault, and can delete the app.

Assigning users to multiple teams means you can give them the perfect combination of permissions. > 🚧 Conflicting permission sets > > When a user is a member of multiple teams, less restrictive permissions override more restrictive permissions. Here is an example: > > Team A allows **Viewer access** to App X.\ > Team B allows **Admin access** to App X. > > A user who is a member of both teams will have **Admin access** to App X. {1133}
