# Whatfix User Roles

The first user role which is created in an account automatically becomes the **Account Manager** (admin). An Account Manager can invite teammates and assign their roles on the Whatfix Dashboard. For more information, see [Understand Teammates](/studio/docs/add-new-users).

### Responsibilities specific to each role

### Comparative view of accessibility or permissions each role has

The following table lists the permissions associated with each type of user role:

> [!NOTE]
> Info:
> 
> - Whatfix Content includes Flows, Articles, Links, Images, Videos, and PDFs.
> - Whatfix Widgets include Pop ups, Self Help, Task Lists, Beacons, Smart Tips, Surveys, and Launchers.
> - Editors can only perform the following actions on their own content.

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> The following permissions are provided for your understanding to show how each Whatfix User Role functions. These permissions describe role-level behavior and are not configurable at the individual Role level. For example, every user assigned the **Editor** role can create and edit their own content, but they cannot publish it. To give a specific **Editor** the ability to publish, you need to change their user role to Account Manager rather than adjusting their individual permissions.
> 
> 
> 
> However, if you want to give a teammate specific permissions, see [Use Custom Roles on Whatfix Dashboard](/studio/docs/use-custom-roles). For example, every user assigned the **Content Manager** role can create and edit content. To give a specific **Content Manager** publishing access, you can use Custom roles rather than changing their role to Account Manager.
