# [Second level navigation] - Invite Users and Assign Roles

This page provides the listing and navigation links for documentation about stack users and stack roles in Contentstack. It is intended for developers and administrators who need to invite users, manage users, and create or manage roles and permissions within a stack. Use it when you want to find the correct sub-page for a specific users-and-roles task.

## Listing page

### Invite Users and Assign Roles

All the member accounts of a stack are called users in Contentstack. Contentstack makes use of Roles to assign permissions to a group of users rather than assign permissions individually.
