As your project scales and you add more team members, you can assign them roles to ensure that they have the right permissions to work on your projects.

Vercel offers a range of roles for your team members. When deciding what role a member should have on your team, consider the following:

- What projects does this team member need to access?
- What actions does this team member need to perform on these projects?
- What actions does this team member need to perform on the team itself?

See the [Managing team members](/docs/rbac/managing-team-members) section for information on setting up and managing team members.

For specific information on the different access roles available on each plan, see the [Access Roles](/docs/rbac/access-roles) section.
