## Manage account permissions
Managing account permissions is an important part of using project management tools like Monday.com. Permissions allow you to control who can see, edit, or delete information in your project. This is especially important when working in large teams or with sensitive information. ### Types of Permissions
On Monday.com, there are several types of permissions that can be set: 1. **View Only Permissions** – Users with these permissions can see the information but not edit it.
2. **Edit permissions** – These users can edit the information but not delete it.
3. **Administrator permissions** – Users with these permissions can perform any action, including deleting information and setting permissions for other users.
