# Get started with Generative BI
<a name="generative-bi-get-started"></a>

To get started with Quick Sight Generative BI capabilities, upgrade your account's users to Admin Pro, Author Pro, or Reader Pro roles. Pro roles grant users access to all Generative BI capabilities that are relevant to the role that's assigned to the user. Pro users can share generative Q&A topics with another user. To understand which Generative BI capabilities are available to the different user roles in Quick, see the table below. To understand how subscription names map to user roles, see [Understanding Amazon Quick subscriptions and roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/user-types.html#subscription-role-mapping).

**Note**  
Non-Pro Authors and Readers can still access Generative Q&A topics if an Author Pro or Admin Pro user shares the topic with them. Non-Pro Authors and Readers can also access data stories if a Reader Pro, Author Pro, or Admin Pro shares one with them.
