Overview
Stack Internal Enterprise has three main user roles.
- Admin The person who manages the site is an admin. There is no limit on the number of admins an Enterprise site may have. To upgrade the status of a user to an admin, an existing admin must update the role at Admins Settings -> Users and Permissions. An admin would use the same settings page to revoke the privilege.
- Moderator Moderators play a critical role in the management of your site's content. To promote the status of a regular user to moderator, a site admin must update the role at Admins Settings -> Users and Permissions.
- User An activated user has access to the platform via SSO login. Many user permissions are determined by reputation point thresholds. On Enterprise, these are customizable by a site admin. The table below shows default thresholds.

Secondary user roles
In addition to the main user roles listed above, users may have two additional statuses.
- Subject matter expert Users, admins, or moderators can be assigned as a subject matter expert (SME) for a specific tag. Site admins and moderators can add or remove an SME from a tag by going to Tags -> choose a tag -> Manage Subject Matter Experts. SME is not a specific user role on the site, but rather a distinguished status.
- Community manager A community manager defines the rules of the community while the moderators enforce the rules. Community managaers set policies, define strategy, and own the tactics to move the community to the desired outcome. They are the experts on the community and the culture in which it resides. Community manager is not a specific user role on the site, but rather a user identified as a key champion within your Stack Overflow Internal organization. In some cases a community manager has an admin or moderator role within the Stack Overflow Internal site as well.
