User permissions can be set for your team members using Roles. Project-level permissions and permission groups are also available for Enterprise customers who need more specific levels of security.
Organizations
An Organization represents a business; within an Organization, you can have multiple Projects (e.g. iOS app, Android app, etc.).
The first user of an Organization is the Admin. Each Organization must have at least one Admin. The Admin can assign various rights to additional invites, including other Admins. When a new user is invited they are a Viewer by default.

Permissions Model and Roles
User permissions exist at the Organization level. This means that users in your organization have the same access to all projects within the organization.
NOTE: Project-level permissions are also available for Enterprise plans. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager to have this enabled.
To change user permissions in Amplitude, click on the "Settings" option along the left hand navigation and navigate to Members. You will be able to invite and modify user permissions here. Note that only Admins and Managers can make changes on this page.

Project-Level Permissions Model (Enterprise)
Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager to have project-level permissions enabled.
Customers on the Enterprise plan have the ability to assign a unique role (Manager, Member, Viewer) per Project a user has access to. This enables multiple teams in your company to operate autonomously and manage their own datasets. For example, a user may have Manager-level permission in one project, but Viewer-level permission in another. Users that do not have access to a project cannot view any content that belongs in that project.
An illustrative example of Org-scoped role assignment in Acme Org:
Note: When viewing all members of your organization, members will either be listed as User or Admin. If you are an Admin or Manager of a project in the organization, you can view and modify an individual member's role per project by clicking the checkbox next to the member's name and selecting "Manage Project Access". Managers will only be able to modify a user's role for the project that they are a manager of.
Permission Groups (Enterprise)
Groups allows you to manage Amplitude user permissions at scale. With Groups, you can add multiple users to a Group and quickly assign them sets of permissions, allowing you to easily provision and manage your Amplitude organization.
For example, create Groups of users like "Marketing Team" or "Payments Team" and assign project permissions to them in bulk. This allows you to control different groupings of users rather than managing each individual user's permissions.
