Firepanel uses a role-based access control (RBAC) system. Each user is assigned a role, and each role has a set of permissions that control what they can do within the project.
Default Roles
Firepanel includes two built-in roles:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access to all features, settings, and billing |
| Admin | Full access to project features, but cannot manage billing or delete the project |
Custom Roles
Custom roles let you define exactly what a user can access. Navigate to Settings → Roles.
