## About the creator role

The creator role defines the [resource role](/admin/org-administration/resource-roles) that will be assigned to a user when they create a resource of that type.

By default, creators are assigned the **Admin** role for the resource they've created. The built-in Admin roles give users all permissions to the resource they've created.

To reduce the set of permissions granted to resource creators, [change the creator role](#changing-the-creator-role) for the resource type. For example, I may want to assign the [Developer](/admin/org-administration/resource-roles#applications) role to application creators so that users cannot share access to applications they create or make them public.

## Changing the creator role

To update the creator role for a resource type:

1. Click your avatar in the upper-left corner of the home page and click **Organization Settings**
2. Click [**Roles & Permissions**](https://app.superblocks.com/roles-and-permissions/settings)
3. Click on the **Settings** tab
4. Select the creator role dropdown for the desired resource type and choose the role you want assigned when a user creates a resource

<Alert type="info">
  Changing the creator role only affects newly created resources. Users who have created resources prior to the change will still have the built-in **Admin** role to that resource.
