# What is the difference between Campaign Team and Organization Staff?

**The members of your Organization's Staff can be entirely different from those of its Campaign Team if you wish.**

### **Organization staff**

**An organization's**staff determines a user's permissions in the *[Organization profile.](https://connectionpoint.com/help/docs/what-is-an-organization-profile)*The graphic below explains these roles.

Users assigned to the organization staff will have permission to view and edit every campaign under its umbrella, regardless of the role they are assigned in the organization staff.

**(NOTE: Users with Editor permission at the organization level will be able to see the Transactions tab in campaign menus, but they will only be able to see contributions they've made themselves or had attributed to them if they are on the campaign team as well.**)

Organization roles can be one of four:

### Campaign teams

**A campaign’s team members will have permission** for *that campaign only*, as long as they are not also on the organization team. There are five options for roles here:

### **Why are they different?**

**We’re glad you asked!**

Sometimes, organizations have helpers managing their campaigns. These could be volunteers, interns, creative collaborators, Joe Schmo from down the street, etc. Having two separate teams allows organizations to invite people to help manage campaigns *without* granting access to organization-specific information or to other campaigns they might not want readily available.
