# 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)

**Edge Cases to Avoid**\
\
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.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Remember:**

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lore.xyz/getting-started/roles-and-decision-making.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
