**Crystal is a&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Decision Intelligence tool**</mark>**&#x20;that leverages Artificial Intelligence to analyze business data in natural language, just like speaking with a co-worker.**

After connecting your data sources, you and your team members can interact with the "*virtual brain*" of Crystal by asking questions from a single input bar, either via text or voice.

Designed for numbers and analytics, Crystal’s underlying technology delivers reliable and certified information, ensuring the highest level of *privacy and security* for your business data.

Besides serving as a *conversational interface* for exploring your business data, Crystal has all the core functionalities of a *Decision Intelligence suite*.

For instance, Crystal can proactively monitor data to identify events of interest, trends, and anomalies, enabling you to make swift decisions.

It also aids in fostering a *true data-driven culture* within your organization, as it is designed to be simple, intuitive, and accessible to everyone in a company, not just those with technical expertise in data.

Thanks to its “consumerized” user experience, as well as its sharing and collaboration features, Crystal becomes a go-to tool allowing anyone in a company to access, analyze, and understand data.&#x20;

## Crystal Projects

**When you start using Crystal, you receive a personal&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Crystal Project**</mark>**: a Crystal instance dedicated to a single client.**

Also called tenant, a project is a private, exclusive and customized Crystal environment with its *own infrastructure* in terms of data sources, configurations, and permissions.

Starting from the product activation, creating a Project is *fast.* In less than an hour, your project will be set up and you'll have access Crystal's workspaces.

{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Remember**</mark>

Your Project name will always have the following form:&#x20;

$$<projectname>.crystal.ai$$
{% endhint %}

## Crystal Workspaces

**Crystal has two distinct workspaces, each referring to different stages of the Crystal experience.**

**These workspaces are the&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Advisor**</mark>**&#x20;and the&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Console**</mark>**.**

## Crystal Roles

**Based on your goals and on the set of actions that you need to perform on Crystal, you will be assigned a specific role within the product.**&#x20;

**As of now, Crystal offers two roles:&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Admin**</mark>**&#x20;and&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Member**</mark>**.**

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Please Note**</mark>

Through the Console, the Admin assigns roles to other members.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Member

As a Member, you can access the **Advisor** Workspace and leverage its comprehensive range of capabilities for **data exploration, analysis, and reporting**.

{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Remember**</mark>

As a Member User, you are subject to the following **limitations**:

* the scope of your actions in the Advisor is restricted based on the *viewing permissions* granted by the Admin User in the Console
* you *don’t have access to the Console*
  {% endhint %}

*Learn more about what the Member role can do* [*here*](/crystal-advisor/access-to-crystal.md)*!*

### Admin

The Admin role is the **project administrator.**

As an Admin, you will access the **Console** Workspace and have the authority to execute a range of actions linked to **data configuration,** **user management, and permission setting**, including role assignment.

{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Remember**</mark>

You will **also** be able to interact with the Advisor, and perform the same actions as a regular Member (whereas a Member user cannot access the Console).
