# Types of users **Racers** are the most common type of user in DeepRacer on AWS, and any account that is created will automatically be created as a racer. Racers can learn the fundamentals of reinforcement learning; build, train, and evaluate models; and they can submit their trained models to live races that are hosted on the deployment. They can also import or export models from the deployment, allowing them to take a model to another deployment and use it there. Where the deployment is used to run [physical racing events](race-management.md), racers can view those events and the results of the runs recorded at them. Racers can be promoted by an admin to either a race facilitator or to an admin (co-admin). Race facilitators and admins, in addition to their elevated permissions, also share the same abilities as racers. **Race facilitators** are users who have been given elevated permissions by the admin of a deployment to help with creating and managing races, including facilitating live race events by launching evaluations, managing the queue, controlling submissions, and declaring winners. At [physical racing events](race-management.md), race facilitators operate timekeeping: they create each racer’s run, record laps as the cars come around, and mark individual laps valid or invalid. They cannot configure the event itself or correct a recorded lap time. Both are reserved for admins. Race facilitators can also view all users' trained models and download physical car models for loading onto vehicles at physical race events. During events, race facilitators can also monitor and remotely control physical devices — restart the device service, trigger an emergency stop, and change a car’s tail-light color. For more information, see [Device management](device-management.md). Race facilitators also manage model optimization and push models to physical cars. For more information, see [Model management](model-management.md). Race facilitators inherit the same permissions as racers, allowing them to also create, train, and evaluate models, and submit them to community races. Admins can also perform the same functions as a race facilitator, allowing them to create and manage races, in addition to having their own elevated privileges. **Admins** have the highest level of permission on a given deployment of DeepRacer on AWS. Admins are able to manage the overall deployment, including managing users, resource utilization, and other operational aspects of the solution. Admins configure [physical racing events](race-management.md). They create an event, set its scoring rules, add and remove its tracks, advance it through its lifecycle, and delete it, and they are the only users who can correct a recorded lap time. Admins additionally onboard (activate) physical devices and organize them into fleets. For more information, see [Device management](device-management.md). Admins also manage model optimization and push models to physical cars. For more information, see [Model management](model-management.md). Admins, in addition to their elevated permissions, also share the same abilities as both racers and race facilitators. **Commentators** can view live data for physical races. If you are a commentator, select an event and track, then subscribe to live leaderboard, lap, and race-status updates. You can view event statistics and combined leaderboards. You cannot manage events, runs, laps, races, or models. **Registration managers** can register walk-up participants at physical events. If you are a registration manager, enter an email address and optional country code to create a racer account. You can edit your own profile. You cannot manage models, races, or events. ## Permissions matrix
