# User Roles in Skykit Beam

There are five Product roles available in Skykit Beam, **Administrator**, **Display Manager**, and **Content Manager, Content Organizer,** and **Content Creator.**

Some users may also be assigned the role of **Basic**. This role has been deprecated and can no longer be newly assigned to users.

## Account Role Requirements

Beam Product roles are available based on a user’s [Account role](/v1/docs/understanding-user-management).

Account Owners are granted Administrator access to all Tenants in their Account. Account Tenant Admins and Account Users are granted access to Tenants individually and can have different roles for different Tenants.

| Account Role | Administrator | Display Manager | Content Manager | Content Organizer | Content Creator | Basic (Legacy) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Account Owner | ✅ | 🚫 | 🚫 | 🚫 | 🚫 | 🚫 |
| Account Tenant Admin | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Account User | 🚫 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

In order to to be a Tenant Admin, your [Account role](/v1/docs/understanding-user-management) must be **Account Owner** or **Account Tenant Admin**. Account Owners automatically receive the role of Tenant Admin for all Tenants in the Account. Account Tenant Admins must be assigned a role for each Tenant.
