# Choose who can publish

Admins and the owner can always publish and change site settings. To let
someone else, give them one of two roles on the public docs brain:

| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| **Publisher** | Edit and approve changes in this brain, and publish, unpublish and restore. |
| **Site admin** | Everything a publisher can, and change the site's settings. |

These roles apply to the public docs brain only. Everywhere else, the
person keeps their usual [brain role](/team/roles).

## Give someone a role

Only admins and the owner can do this.

1. Open the public docs brain and select **Review & publish**.
2. Select the **People** tab.
3. Under **Let someone else publish**, choose the person and the role.
4. Select **Add**.

To change or remove a role later, use the menu or **Remove** on their
row.

## Everyone else

Everyone in your organisation can read the draft. Who can edit it
follows their usual role, so someone on Draft can suggest changes, which
are sent for approval. Anyone can open the publish page to see what has
changed, but only publishers can put it live.
