FAQ-ID：1064
Just like a real company, everybody all plays a different role to work and grow together, this concept is the same in WorkDo.

There are 3 key roles in a WorkDo workplace, and they are member, admin and owner, each with a different purpose and role to play to facilitate the running of the company.

Furthermore, with each tool, there are team members that are responsible for maintaining the settings and records other than using it, so each tool also has a tool role that limits team members’ permissions on what they can do with each tool.（Know more!）
