# Members and roles

> Manage workspace members and understand the available role types.

Brivvy provides role types to help you control access and permissions across your workspace. Each role gives team members the right level of access, from full administrative control to standard collaboration.

## Overview

Admins can manage workspace members from **Settings > Administration > Members**. This page lists all active and suspended members and allows filtering by role or status, including pending invites, suspended users or members who have left the workspace.

## Managing user roles

### Changing a member's role

To update a user's role:

1. Go to **Settings > Administration > Members**.
2. Hover over a member's row.
3. Click the **overflow menu (⋯)**.
4. Select **Change role...**.

### Suspend a member

Admins can suspend a member from the workspace:

1. Go to **Settings > Administration > Members**.
2. Hover over a member's row.
3. Click the **overflow menu (⋯)**.
4. Select **Suspend user...**.

Suspended users lose all access immediately and are removed from your next billing cycle. They remain visible in the members list for historical purposes, for example when viewing comms they created or were assigned to.

## Role types

<Note>
  On the free plan, all workspace members are automatically assigned the admin role. Role-based access control becomes available when you upgrade to a paid plan.
</Note>

### Admin

Admins have elevated permissions to manage routine workspace operations. This role is well-suited for managers, team leads and operations-focused members.

On paid plans, the user who upgrades the workspace is granted the admin role by default.

### Member

Members can collaborate across the workspace and use all standard features. They cannot access workspace-level administration pages.
