# User Roles
Abbey lets you distinguish between roles so that you can ensure the integrity of your organization's settings by preventing accidental or unauthorized changes.
There are two types of users in Abbey: Admins and Members.
### Admin
Admin roles provide members with full access to manage all aspects of the organization, including its resources, memberships, and settings. This includes the capabilities to add, update, and delete Grant Kit Resources, as well as modify Abbey Settings.
### Member
The standard Member role within an organization allows users to view Grant Kit Resources and handle access requests, including both requesting and approving them, allowing participation and collaboration within the organization.
