# Permissions

You can grant permissions to the entire organization, to other members, to groups, or to JMap Cloud API keys for projects you own.

Three permission levels are available, based on the assigned role. These permissions are hierarchical: the highest permission automatically includes the other two.

## Granting Permissions

To grant permissions for a project:

1. Click the menu icon, then select **Permissions**. The permissions configuration interface opens and displays the members and each person's permissions. A letter identifies the role assigned to each member.
2. To add a member, open the dropdown in the **Add a member** section.
3. Select the organization, members, groups, or API keys concerned. You can clear your selection by clicking <img src="/files/1ILjIUqph3Ivk7B63cw3" alt="" data-size="line">.
4. Once the members are selected, click the add icon <img src="/files/Bo4UbsCt4G1HgFXYqTy6" alt="" data-size="line">. The members then appear in the permissions table.
5. Check the permissions you want to grant them.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Owner permission automatically includes the Modify and View permissions.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Organizations and groups cannot be granted the Owner permission.
{% endhint %}

## Modifying Permissions

You can modify the permissions granted to members, grant permissions to new members, or remove all permissions from one or more members.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Each project must always have at least one member with the Owner permission.
{% endhint %}

1. Click the menu icon, then select **Permissions** to open the configuration interface.
2. Modify permissions by checking or unchecking the corresponding boxes.
3. To remove all permissions from a member, uncheck all three boxes. If you uncheck **Owner**, the **Modify** permission automatically becomes the highest one assigned.
4. To remove a member from the list, check the box to the left of their name, then click the remove icon <img src="/files/1BZUkyVCSB6m3dRcIRYF" alt="" data-size="line">.
