# Role Types

Role types control what a user can do inside a specific process. They define whether someone can contribute work, review it, or manage the process end to end.

These role types are different from platform access roles. Platform roles control which parts of the application a user can access. Process role types control what they can do once they are inside a process.

The table below summarizes each role type and its scope.

<table><thead><tr><th width="186.0546875">Role Name</th><th>Role Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Contributor</td><td>The contributor can view process configurations and create/update relevant chains in a process, but they can not update process configurations or view resources not relevant to their own chains.</td></tr><tr><td>Auditor</td><td>The auditor has full rights to view any information about the process, but can not make any changes to its state.</td></tr><tr><td>Owner</td><td>The owner has full rights over the control process. They are able to perform all operations on the group.</td></tr></tbody></table>
