{% step %}
**Assign Permissions for Each Area**:

* For each area (e.g., Marketplace, Datascape, Datalab, Velocity, Team Management, and Settings), you can choose either **Standard** or **Admin**.
* **Admin**: Complete control over the assigned area, including the ability to create and manage content or settings within that space.
* **Standard**: Restricted access to view-only permissions, allowing the user to monitor without making changes.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Customize Permissions by Area**:

* Use the radio buttons to select **Standard** or **Admin** for each area, tailoring the permissions to the team member’s responsibilities.
  {% endstep %}
