# Role Capabilities in Detail
> Comprehensive guide to what each role can do in Stage3
## Understanding Your Capabilities
Your role determines what actions you can take in Stage3. This page breaks down exactly what you can do based on your role.
Use the sections below to explore the capabilities for your specific role.
## Permission Inheritance Concept
Before diving into specifics, understand this important concept:
**Roles Build on Each Other**
* Administrator can do everything Member can do, plus more
* Owner can do everything Administrator can do, plus more
This means you never lose capabilities when promoted. You only gain new ones.
If you see a feature grayed out or missing, it's likely because your role doesn't have permission. Contact your workspace Owner if you need access.

## Requesting Additional Permissions
If you need capabilities beyond your current role:
Be specific about which features you need access to and why. This helps your Owner make an informed decision.
Send a message or email explaining your request. Include how the additional access will help you do your job better.
Your Owner will review your request and either upgrade your role or provide an alternative solution.
If approved, review this page again to understand your expanded permissions.
Sometimes you don't need a role change. For example, if you need to edit one specific process, an Administrator can share it with you with edit permissions instead of making you an Administrator.
