# Roles and access
Manage team roles and permissions in Spike to define exactly what each member can view, edit, or configure access to.
Every team member is assigned a role. Each role comes with a predefined set of permissions that admins can edit. Manage roles and access under [Organisation > Team](https://app.spike.sh/settings/general/team).
## Roles
By default, four roles are available:
| Role | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Admin | Full access to manage the account, including the ability to remove members |
| Manager | Can manage all entities on the account and change members' permissions and roles |
| Responder | Can work with incidents, integrations, automation, and on-calls, but cannot archive or delete entities |
| Viewer | Read-only access across Spike. Cannot create, update, or delete anything |
Click a role to see the members assigned to it.
## Access control
Access control defines what each team member can do in Spike.
Click **View & edit permissions** on any member to see and change their permissions.
## FAQs
### What if no existing role fits a user?
Create a custom role. On the Team page, click **Create role**, configure the permissions you need, and assign the new role to the user.
{% hint style="info" %}
Status pages have their own access settings. The same roles apply, except the Responder role is not available there.
{% endhint %}
### How do I remove a user?
Click the remove icon next to the user in the table. Make sure to also replace them in any escalation policies and on-call schedules.
