# Accounts and teams

Your account holds your projects and the people you work with.

Canonical page: https://kortix.com/docs/concepts/accounts

An **account** holds your [projects](/docs/concepts/projects) and teammates. Signing up gives you a personal account; you can also create shared accounts for a company or team.

## People and roles

Each person you invite has a role:

- **Owner** — full control, including members and billing.
- **Admin** — manage projects and members.
- **Member** — work in the projects they're given access to.

Within a project, access is one of three project roles:

- **Member** — read the project and run sessions/chat and fire triggers.
- **Editor** — everything a member can do, plus edit/customize the project and manage triggers.
- **Manager** — everything an editor can do, plus invite/remove project members, change member roles, manage gateway keys, and delete the project.

Those controls live in each project's access settings.

## Switching accounts

If you belong to more than one account, switch between them from the account switcher. Each keeps its projects, members, and settings separate.

## Inviting your team

Invite teammates by email from the account's members page; they get access as
soon as they accept. Adding someone as **owner** or **admin** gives them manager
access to every project (full control, including managing members and deleting
the project); a plain account **member** sees only the projects they're
granted a project role on.

> **Under the hood**
> An account is the top-level tenant; projects belong to accounts, and access is governed by account roles (owner, admin, member) plus per-project roles. Personal and team accounts use the same model.
