To control access to an organization and its projects, you assign user types and roles to organization members and project members:
- The user type is the member's default permissions in the organization or project.
- User roles are the member's additional permissions in the organization or project.
Unity ID user types and roles include inheritance. Users who are added to an organization with a non-guest user type inherit their user type on the project level. For example, a user with the Manager user type in their organization also has Manager-level access to all projects within that organization. You can use roles to assign different permissions to users.
User types and roles
User are assigned permissions to a seat at an organizational level. These roles include Owner (billable), Manager, User, and Guest.
Project roles are assigned permissions to a seat that are specific to projects. For example, a Unity Cloud Pro user could be a Viewer for one project and a Contributor in a different project.

Roles
An Owner or a Manager can:
- At the organization level, assign a user type and roles to an organization member. This grants the organization member access to the data and services of all projects that require this specific role. Within a project, the member's role is labeled Inherited from the organization.
- At the project level, invite an organization member, or a guest from outside the organization, to the project and assign them a user type and roles. Project members can access only the data and services of this specific project. Guests can access only the selected project. Within the project, the member's role is labeled Individual Grant.
Organization members are listed as project members of all projects within their organization. However, they still need to be assigned the correct roles to access a project's data and services.
