# Team management

The **Team** page lets you manage members and their access. In the Cloud admin panel, use the [Team page](https://app.wproofreader.com/teams/). You can invite members, assign roles and remove members.

{% hint style="info" %}
For the [self-hosted admin panel](/v6.18.1/admin-panel/self-hosted.md), use your installation's address. For product-specific roles, invitations and member passwords, see [Team](/v6.18.1/admin-panel/self-hosted/team.md).
{% endhint %}

### Roles

Each role determines which pages and actions are available.

* **Owner** is the highest-level role. There can only be one owner per team. This role is assigned automatically to the person who first sets up the account.
* **Administrator** manages team members, settings, custom dictionaries, and style guide rules. In the Cloud admin panel, administrators also manage billing. There can be multiple administrators.
* **Developer** can view the team, settings, analytics, custom dictionaries, and style guide rules, and can regenerate the access key. Developers can't change settings or manage team membership.
* **User** is available only in WProofreader Business teams. Users can view settings, analytics, custom dictionaries, and style guide rules. They can't open the **Team** page.

WProofreader SDK and SCAYT teams use the **Administrator** and **Developer** roles for members. WProofreader Business teams use **Administrator** and **User**.
