# Accounts & Permissions (/docs/assetto-corsa/accounts-and-permissions)

The Race Manager supports multiple user accounts so your team can help run events without sharing the admin login. Each account is assigned a permission level that controls what it can see and do.

Permission levels [#permission-levels]

| Level      | Can do                                                                                                             |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Read**   | View races, results, live timing, and content — but not change anything. Good for spectators or stream operators.  |
| **Write**  | Create and start races, manage entry lists, and run events. Good for race directors.                               |
| **Admin**  | Everything Write can do, plus Server Options, accounts, content management, and the live admin/race-control panel. |
| **Delete** | The ability to remove races, results, and content (often granted alongside Admin).                                 |

The exact groups available depend on your build, but the model is the same: give each person the least access they need to do their job.

Creating an account [#creating-an-account]

1. Open **Accounts** from the sidebar (Admin only).
2. Choose **New account**.
3. Set a username and a temporary password.
4. Assign the permission level.
5. Save, and share the login with that team member — ask them to change the password on first sign-in.

<Callout type="warn">
  Don't share the default `admin` login with your team. Create individual accounts instead, so actions are attributable in the [Audit Logs](/docs/assetto-corsa/server-options) and you can revoke one person's access without changing everyone's password.
</Callout>

Open vs closed server [#open-vs-closed-server]

Permissions in the manager control who can operate the **dashboard**. Whether drivers can freely **join the race** is a separate setting:

* An **open** server lets any driver connect (subject to a join password if set).
* A **closed** server only admits booked or whitelisted entrants.

Set this in [Server Options](/docs/assetto-corsa/server-options), and manage bans on the [Blacklist](/docs/assetto-corsa/blacklist-whitelist).

Good practice for leagues [#good-practice-for-leagues]

* **Race directors** → Write access, so they can build and start events but not change server config.
* **Stewards / stream team** → Read access plus Live Timing, so they can watch and follow without risk.
* **Owners** → Admin, kept to as few people as possible.
