# Manage access to security groups

Access to security groups is regulated by:

* [projects](/access-control/projects/about-projects.mdx) — define access within an isolated group of resources;
* [role model](#access-within-roles) — defines the access of [different users](/access-control/user-types.mdx) within an account and a [project](/access-control/projects/about-projects.mdx).

## Access within the role model \{#access-within-roles}

Read more about access within the role model in the [Access Management in Selectel Products article](/access-control/access-management/).

### member \{#member}

User with full access to all services. Access management is not available for [users](/access-control/manage/), [service users](/access-control/user-types.mdx#service-users), [user groups](/access-control/groups/) and [federations](/access-control/federations/).
