There are five types of staff users for a Pressbase newsroom: (ranked from higher to lower permission)

Owner > Administrator > Editor > Author > Contributor.

The owner has all the permissions. When you create a newsroom, the default owner login credential is the same as your Pressbase.io login credential.
