# Manage Membership, Badges, and Permissions

Many actions on the Clarity Platform require users to have some form of permission to take an action. There are 4 main user types that can interact with an Organization on the Clarity Platform.\
\
**Visitors:** Users who have not completed an Organization's New Member Application Workflow

**Members:** Users who have completed an Organization's New Member Application Workflow

**Badge Holders:** Members who have earned a specific badge, which is used to grant specific permissions in the Organization.

**Admins:** Users who have the ability to take all actions available on the Clarity Platform.

Organization admins can customize where each of these 4 user types can visit and which actions they can take by assigning members specific Badges and configuring Permissions associated with those Badges.
