In Neon, roles determine what actions you can take within an organization and its projects. This page provides a detailed breakdown of permissions for each role: **Admin**, **Member**, and **Collaborator**.

For an overview of organizations, see the [Organizations](/docs/manage/organizations) page.

## Role descriptions

- **Admin** — Full control over the organization and all its projects. Can manage permissions, billing, members, and organization settings. Only Admins can delete organization projects.
- **Member** — Access to all organization projects and can perform most project operations, but cannot modify organization settings or delete projects.
- **Collaborator** — External users invited to specific projects. Collaborators have no organization-level access, but can work on projects they've been invited to.

<Steps>

| ---------------------------------------------------- | :---: | :----: | :----------: |

| Connect project to Neon-managed Vercel integration\* |  ✅   |   ✅   |      ❌      |

\*Neon's Vercel-managed integration is managed entirely in Vercel and uses Vercel's permission system. For the Neon-managed Vercel integration, projects must first be made available in Vercel before they can be connected to Neon.

</Steps>

## Notes and limitations

- **Branch management** — All users are currently able to manage [protected branches](/docs/guides/protected-branches), regardless of their role or permission level. Granular permissions for this feature are not yet implemented.
- **Permissions and roles** — The current permissions system may not meet all needs for granular control. Share your feedback and requirements for more detailed permissions settings via the [Feedback](https://console.neon.tech/app/projects?modal=feedback) form or our [Discord feedback channel](https://discord.com/channels/1176467419317940276/1176788564890112042).
