[Cloud Platform user roles](/acquia-cloud-platform/access/teams/roles) have several permission levels. These permissions are dependent on subscription type, and [can be modified](/acquia-cloud-platform/access/teams/permissions). You can evaluate your role permissions against the default by using the following list:

*   **Developer**: Access to Dev and Stage environments.
*   **Senior Developer**: Access to Dev, Stage, and Prod environments.
*   **Team Lead**: Full access to subscriptions and permissions to invite other members to the team.
*   **CMS User**: Access to managed applications.
*   **Organization Owners**: Full access to subscriptions and permissions to administer the [organization](/acquia-cloud-platform/access/teams/organizations).
    
    In addition, an organization owner has the responsibility to ensure that the organization has at least one active administrator at all times.
    
*   **Administrators**: Full access to subscriptions and permissions to administer the [organization](/acquia-cloud-platform/access/teams/organizations).
