# Writer Permissions in Golden

In Golden, you can customize the level of permissions each team member can have within your organization.

Writers can create, submit, and edit Opportunities, including ones created by others. They can't manage billing, users, or organization settings. They also have broader access to data and features compared to Readers. The Writer permission setting is ideal for team members who need to create and manage Opportunities but should not have full administrative control.

**What Writers Can Do:**

Writers have access to create and manage Opportunities, view organization data, and work with participants. However, they cannot submit Opportunities for publication, manage billing, or perform administrative tasks like adding/removing users.
