Account

Everything in BetterMenu start with a notion of an Account. When a User signs up, they are assigned an account. An account in BetterMenu is of following types:

• Personal Account: A personal account is an account that represents a single user. This is the default account type that a user gets when they sign up. A user may have multiple personal accounts. However, it is best to have a single personal account so that all the data is in one place.
• Organization Account: An organization account is an account that represents a group of users. Users can create an organization account and invite other users to join the organization account. Users can be part of multiple organizations.
• Enterprise Account: An enterprise account is an account that represents a company or an enterprise. An enterprise account is a special type of organization account that has additional features and capabilities.

Any activity performed in BetterMenu is associated with an account. This includes creating recipes, dishes, collections, sharing etc. Each account has a role associated with it. The role defines what actions an account can perform. The role is associated with a set of permissions that define what actions an account can perform.

Roles

Roles are a set of rules that define what actions an account can perform. These are high-level rules that define what actions an account can perform inside BetterMenu. Some of the examples of roles are:

Role	Description
Owner	The owner is the primary account holder. The owner has full control over the account and can perform any action.
Member	A member is a user who is part of an organization account. A member has limited control over the account and can perform only certain actions.

Some of the key points to note about roles are:

• When a user signs up on BetterMenu, they get a Personal Account with the role of Owner. This role allows them to perform any action in the account.
• When a user creates an Organization Account, they become the Owner of the organization account. They can then invite other users to join the organization account. The invited users become Members of the organization account.

Permissions

Permissions are a set of rules that define what actions an account can perform. These are fine-grained rules that define what actions an account can perform inside BetterMenu. Some of the examples of permissions are:

Share Recipe	Allows the account to share a recipe.
