# User roles and privleges

There are three different types of users in Egnyte: Administrators, Power Users, and Standard Users.&#x20;

### Administrators&#x20;

Administrators have full control over the account. The creator of the account is given the role of Administrator by default, but additional Administrators can be created as needed.

### Power Users

Power Users are organization members (such as employees) who have access to advanced features in Egnyte. They can also send invites to users as Standard Users.&#x20;

Adding a Power user may increase the subscription cost depending on the plan type.&#x20;

### Standard Users

Standard Users are meant for external parties to give users access to Shared files and folders with access to minimal features. These users can't create sharing links or use features like SFTP, and are unable to invite other users.&#x20;

Adding an additional Standard user may increase the subscription cost depending on the plan type.&#x20;

### Custom Roles

To give granular administrative permissions, administrators can create User Roles in Egnyte. These can apply to Power Users and Standard users, starting with the default permission structure with option to reduce access to features for custom roles.&#x20;
