# Users and security

You can control who has access to areas on the platform, so they can only access the areas and perform tasks related to their line of work.

Use **roles** to create different access rights for people with different responsibilities. These responsibilities can include organising events, communication, operations, and so on.

Creating roles for your coworkers allows you to have a team of space managers. You can restrict their access to the areas on the platform related to their skills and responsibilities.

Roles are cumulative so you can also assign multiple roles to the same person, and they will be given the access rights associated with all of these roles.
