This user has full permissions to all features of Aviary for the organization, including access to managing accounts and billing information. An organization must have at least one owner, and only owners can create other owners.
Organization Admin
Organization administrators have access to all features in the organization backend except billing and theme. They can create any type of user, except owners.

Organization users have access to manage the organization’s content, including collections, resources, media files, indexes, transcripts, and supplemental files. However, they cannot access or edit any other aspects of the organization.
Assigned User
Assigned users have limited access to content in an Aviary organization. Organization Owners or Administrators must assign specific resources to Assigned Users in the Resources table. Assigned Users can only access resources that have been assigned to them from the My Aviary Assignments link in the profile dropdown menu.
