# Members

[Updated in 2026.21](https://docs-classic.cognigy.com/release-notes/2026.21.md)

The *Members* interface in a Cognigy Project allows Project admins to assign and manage Project-specific roles. This interface allows fine-grained control over who can create, edit, view, or update different parts of a Project, complementing the [global roles](https://docs-classic.cognigy.com/ai/administer/access/admin-center/access-control.md) set in the Access Control.

## Project Roles

Project roles let you control what users can do within a specific Project. To manage permissions across the whole organization, use [global roles](https://docs-classic.cognigy.com/ai/administer/access/admin-center/access-control.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Project roles assigned to users determine what actions a user can perform in the UI and through API endpoints, ensuring consistent access control across both interfaces.

Each permission works as follows:

* **Create** – create a new resource.
* **Read** – view or retrieve the resource and its details.
* **Update** – view and change an existing resource's data or settings.
* **Delete** – permanently remove the resource.

Having full permissions means a user can create, read, update, and delete the resource.
