# Deployment permissions

> Understand deployment permission levels for organization members versus external contributors, including branch protection and merge access.

People with the editor or admin [role](/dashboard/roles) can use the web editor, trigger deployments, and manage integrations from your dashboard. When an editor or admin publishes through the web editor or merges a pull request into your documentation repository, the changes deploy to your live site automatically.

Anyone with access to your documentation repository can contribute by pushing changes. However, their changes do not deploy until an editor or admin manually triggers a deployment from your dashboard.
