### What’s the Difference Between an Account Role and a **Product Role**?

Account Roles define the features and settings a user can access in the Accounts portal. Product Roles, on the other hand, determine the features and settings available to users depending on the product being used.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Assigning a user the Account Owner role automatically grants them full access to all features in both Skykit Beam and Skykit Control.
