Backstage users can be members of one or more organizations.
A member of an organization always has a role within that organization. This organization role determines what rights (accesses or actions) they can perform within the organization.
As a member of an organization, the Backstage user will also be a member of one or several workspaces, and/or one or several content hubs.
In each of those workspaces or content hubs, that same Backstage user will also have a determined role within the workspace and/or content hub.
Please see the tables below that explain the different possible organization, workspace, and content hub roles.
More information on how to manage roles in an organization or in a workspace.
