# Organization Roles
# Organization roles
Users can belong to one or more organizations. A user's organization membership is tied to a role that defines what the user is allowed to do
in that organization.
## Admin Role

- Add and Edit data sources.
- Add and Edit organization users and teams.
- Configure App plugins and set org settings.
- Can add, edit, and delete data sources.
- Can add and edit users and teams in organizations.
- Can configure app plugins and organization settings.
- Can do everything allowed by the Editor role.
## Editor Role
## Editor role
- Can create and modify dashboards and alert rules. This can be disabled on specific folders and dashboards.
- **Cannot** create or edit data sources nor invite new users.
- Can view, add, and edit dashboards, panels, and alert rules in dashboards they have access to. This can be disabled on specific folders and dashboards.
- Can create, update, or delete playlists.
- Can access Explore.
- Cannot add, edit, or delete data sources.
- Cannot add, edit, or delete alert notification channels.
- Cannot manage other organizations, users, and teams.
This role can be tweaked via Grafana server setting [editors_can_admin]({{< relref "../administration/configuration.md#editors_can_admin" >}}). If you set this to true users
with **Editor** can also administrate dashboards, folders and teams they create. Useful for enabling self organizing teams.

with the Editor role can also administrate dashboards, folders and teams they create. This is especially useful for enabling self-organizing teams to administer their own dashboards.
## Viewer Role
## Viewer role
- View any dashboard. This can be disabled on specific folders and dashboards.
- **Cannot** create or edit dashboards nor data sources.
- Can view any dashboard they have access to. This can be disabled on specific folders and dashboards.

- Cannot access Explore.
- Cannot manage other organizations, users, and teams.
This role can be tweaked via Grafana server setting [viewers_can_edit]({{< relref "../administration/configuration.md#viewers-can-edit" >}}). If you set this to true users
with **Viewer** can also make transient dashboard edits, meaning they can modify panels and queries but not save the changes (nor create new dashboards).
Useful for public Grafana installations where you want anonymous users to be able to edit panels and queries but not save or create new dashboards.
