A user group may be assigned to one of the three available access levels: #### Admin Has complete access to the project except deleting and transferring the project ownership. The admin has the ability to provide project access to any user or user group. #### Standard Has standard access to the project and the ability to do all basic things. This access level is one level below the admin. The standard user has some restrictions which include: * cannot delete the project * cannot transfer the project * cannot change project settings/configuration * cannot provide project access to any other users/groups #### For step-by-step instructions on how to create user groups and also give access permissions to User groups, click below: {% content-ref url="../../tutorials/managing-user-groups" %} [managing-user-groups](https://docs.dckapintegrator.com/tutorials/managing-user-groups) {% endcontent-ref %}
