# Dashboard user access level

Dashboard accounts have a numeric access level from **0** to **5**. Higher levels include the permissions of lower levels, but domain access, license features, and account restrictions also apply.

Open **Settings → Users & domains** to manage accounts and the websites they can access. Give each person only the level and domains needed for their work.

| Level                 | Main capabilities                                                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **5 — Root**          | Platform updates, license settings, dashboard-wide settings, and AI provider/API-key configuration.                                                                              |
| **4 — Administrator** | Manage permitted users and domain access, tracking/privacy settings, scheduled tasks, A/B tests, and the AI model.                                                               |
| **3 — Analyst**       | Add/remove tags, use Ask AI, change recording limits, and delete recorded sessions where permitted.                                                                              |
| **1–2**               | Share recordings, manage their own account security, and use permitted custom-dashboard editing/sharing features. The permission map currently adds no separate level-2 actions. |
| **0**                 | View the analytics data and shared content that the account is allowed to access.                                                                                                |

Custom dashboards and other plan-specific features also require a license that includes them. An account level does not unlock a feature outside the license.

### Important limits

* Administrators cannot modify another account at or above their own level.
* Users cannot change their own access level or assign a level above their own.
* Sensitive changes can require password or 2FA verification.
* Domain access determines which websites an account can inspect. Sharing a segment or goal does not grant domain access.
* Read-only/demo restrictions can block actions that the numeric level would otherwise permit.

Use **Account & Security** for your own sign-in sessions and two-factor authentication. If you are locked out, follow the [password recovery guide](/guides/resetting-admin-password.md).

The installed `server/permissions.php` contains the permission map for your version. Do not edit it to work around an access error; check the account, domain permissions, and license first.
