- Member: Access to resources but cannot modify billing or add/remove users
- Viewer: Read-only access to resources

Managing Team Structure
For larger organizations, you can organize users into teams for better permission management:
Best Practices
- Regularly audit user access and remove users who no longer need access
- Apply the principle of least privilege: give users only the permissions they need
- Use descriptive team names that reflect their function
- Document your user management policies
- Require strong passwords and 2FA for all users with admin access
