  Documents the five member roles on CNB (Guest, Assistant, Developer,
  Administrator, Owner) and a detailed permission matrix showing what actions
  each role can perform on repositories and resources.
---
Cloud Native Build has five member roles: `Guest`, `Assistant`, `Developer`, `Administrator`, `Owner`.

* **Public repositories**: Non-members and unauthenticated users can also access, with the `Anonymous` role.
* **Certain resources** (PR, Issue, comments, etc.): Non-members can also create them, with the `Creator` role.

The permissions for each role across resource types are as follows:
