# Roles & Decision Making

### Roles:

* **Admins:** The guardians of the Vault. They add/remove members, approve Equity Events and approve Proposals.
* **Members:** Contributors who deposit funds and can propose ideas and vote on them (think: vault co-owners)

### Security:

* **Signer Count:** The number of Admins needed to approve Proposals. 
  * **Lower count:** Faster decisions, less secure. (think: 2-3 for small groups)
  * **Higher count:** More secure, slower decisions. (think: 3-5 for larger groups)

3/3 for potential lock-up, single signatures for security risks, and more than 5 for slow Proposals.
{% endhint %}

### Decision Making:

* **It's up to you!** Casual discussions, formal votes, polls – choose your style.

**Remember:**

* **Admins = security, Members = participation.**
* **Balance speed and security with your Signer Count.**
* **Choose your decision making style that works best for your group.**
