# Roles & permissions

Search.io supports five user roles, granting access to different capabilities in Search.io. Starting with account owners and administrators, who are able to manage all account and collection settings, to viewers who only have the ability to view settings and reports.

### Owner <a href="#owner" id="owner"></a>

The owner role is assigned to the member who created the account. To transfer ownership of an account, [please contact support](mailto:support@search.io).

### Admin <a href="#admin" id="admin"></a>

Admins have the same level of access as the account owner and can view API keys, change plans and edit billing details. An Admin cannot delete an Owner.
