To help run your home smoothly, you can add certain members to 'Roles' and control what permissions they have.
Roles: groups of people in your home you want to assign special permissions - i.e. Admins (members can only be part of 1 role at a time)
Home Permissions: abilities at the home level - e.g. who can change the name of the home, who can create new rooms, who can invite people to join, etc.
Room Permissions: abilities at the individual room (channel) level - e.g. who can write in a chat or post room, who can pin messages in a chat or post room. Many people use room permissions to set up "read-only" rooms for things like "Announcements".
