#  User roles and permissions

Parse.ly account users are assigned one of three roles: user, site admin, or network
admin. Each role has increasing levels of account management permissions.

**Users** see the entirety of the [Parse.ly Dashboard](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/).
Certain permissions, like the ability to [share pages with external users](https://docs.parse.ly/tools-features/data-outside-parsely/)
or see [campaign data](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/campaigns-tab/), can be [changed on a per-user basis](https://docs.parse.ly/account-management/users/).

**Site admins** can [invite, remove, and edit permissions](https://docs.parse.ly/account-management/users/)
for an individual site’s users. One user can be an admin for multiple sites in the
network.

**Network admins** have access to all sites in the network, including any sites 
added to the network in the future. They can manage users and settings for single
sites or the network as a whole.
