# Roles and Permission Levels

> The roles you can assign in a flow's Permission settings

Chamelio has two separate role systems that are easy to conflate: **account-wide platform
roles**, and **flow-specific access roles**. This page covers the flow-specific ones.

<Info>
  Account-wide roles (Admin, Editor, Member, Viewer) control access across all of Chamelio and
  are managed separately — see [User Management](/guides/user-management).
</Info>

## Flow access roles

These are the roles you actually assign to a user or group in a flow's **Permission** settings:

| Role         | Grants                                     |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| Manager      | Full control over every aspect of the flow |
| Collaborator | View the workflow and its contents         |
| Requester    | Submit and view only their own requests    |

## Owner and Assignee — not roles you assign here

"Owner" and "Assignee" show up elsewhere in Chamelio (for example, as recipient options when
configuring [notifications](/features/flows/flow-settings#notifications)), but they aren't
entries in the Permission tab's role dropdown above — they're determined differently:

* **Owner** is whoever is set in the flow's **Ownership** field (under Flow Settings → General),
  or changed mid-task with a Customization step.
* **Assignee** is whoever currently holds the task at a given step — set on that step itself
  (for example, the Approver on an Approval step), not on this settings page.

<Tip>
  Use a **Customization** step to change a task's ownership mid-task — for example, conditioning
  the owner on agreement type or department.
