# Role

The role determines the permissions of a [member](/reference/glossary/member.md) in a PageSeeder [group](/reference/glossary/group.md).

The role of a member is set by the [manager](/reference/glossary/manager.md) of the group.

The following diagram summarizes the default roles and permissions within PageSeeder.
