## Access and visibility

What you can do in Decision Control depends on **what access your administrator gave you**. Your organization picks its own role names, but those roles map to four kinds of access:

| Access         | What it allows                                                           |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Authoring**  | Build, edit, and test decision models                                    |
| **Management** | Manage units, versions, and models; upload, execute, and view Monitoring |
| **Prompting**  | Use the AI chat to query and execute published models                    |
| **Publish**    | Deploy a model so it becomes a live API endpoint                         |

Cards on the home page that you don't have access to are shown **disabled**. Some workspaces (such as the AI Prompting chat) only appear if your administrator has enabled them in your deployment.

Each guide notes the access it needs under **Prerequisites**.
