# Manage access to storage

Access to the storage system is regulated by a role-based model that defines access within an account; for more details, see the instructions [Access Control in Selectel Products](/access-control/access-management.mdx). You can see role capabilities across all products in the [role reference](/access-control/role-reference.mdx).

## member \{#member}

A user with full access to all Selectel products. Does not have access to manage: [users](/access-control/manage/), [service users](/access-control/user-types.mdx#service-users), [user groups](/access-control/groups/), and [federations](/access-control/federations/).
