Roles

A roleAn area of access you grant to a person, such as running registration or editing your website. Roles are built in: each one opens a set part of the product. You grant roles to people, and remove them to take access away, but you do not configure what a role can do. A role is either global (applying across your whole site) or event-specific (granted for one event). is an area of access you grant to a person. Roles are built in: each one opens a set part of the product. You grant roles to people; you do not configure what a role can do.

Global and event-specific roles

• A global role applies across your whole site.
• An event-specific role applies only to the event you grant it for. The same person can hold a role for one event and not another.

Each role is one or the other. You choose the event when you grant an event-specific role.

Roles stay in place

The built-in roles cannot be edited or deleted. You control access by choosing who holds each role, not by changing the roles themselves.
