# Connekt User Roles Explained: All 10 Roles at a Glance

> Explore all 10 Connekt user roles, understand what each role can access, and learn how to set or change a role at invite or any time afterwards.

Connekt uses role-based access control to make sure every team member sees and can do exactly what they need — no more, no less. Each user is assigned one role, and that role determines their access across the entire platform. Choosing the right role from the start saves you having to unpick permissions later, so it's worth understanding what each one covers.

## Role reference

| Role                     | What they can do                                                                                                                                |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Super Administrator**  | Full access to everything, including billing and all workspace-level settings.                                                                  |
| **Administrator**        | Full feature access across the workspace.                                                                                                       |
| **Operations**           | User management, leave administration, and system configuration.                                                                                |
| **Manager**              | Team management, leave approvals, and full recruitment CRM access.                                                                              |
| **Principal Consultant** | Senior CRM access, typically with broader visibility settings across the team's pipeline.                                                       |
| **Senior Consultant**    | Core CRM access — can view, create, and edit placements, candidates, and jobs.                                                                  |
| **Consultant**           | Core CRM access scoped to their own placements and candidates.                                                                                  |
| **Recruiter**            | Core CRM access focused on sourcing and submissions.                                                                                            |
| **Researcher**           | Research-focused access — candidate sourcing with limited placement rights. Job visibility is limited to roles they are explicitly assigned to. |
| **User**                 | Basic, largely read-only access across the CRM.                                                                                                 |

<Note>
  The **Researcher** role has a specific behaviour worth remembering: Researchers can only see jobs they have been assigned to. Use job assignments to control which roles a Researcher can work on — see [Assigning Team Members to Jobs](/jobs/assigning-team-members) for details.
</Note>

## Setting or changing a role

### At the point of invitation

When you invite a new team member, select their role on the invite screen before sending the invitation. They'll have that role as soon as they accept and log in for the first time.

### After the invitation has been sent

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Manage Users">
    Go to **Settings → Manage Users**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the user">
    Search for the team member by name or scroll through the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update the role">
    Click the role dropdown next to their name and select the new role.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Role changes take effect immediately. The user does not need to log out and log back in — their permissions update in real time.
</Info>

<Tip>
  If the default permissions for a role don't quite match how your team operates, you can fine-tune them in **Settings → Permissions**. See [Customising Role Permissions](/team/customising-permissions) for a full walkthrough.
