Role permissions overview
Event staff can have one of four roles, each with different permissions. Higher roles include everything the lower roles can do.
What each role does
| Role | Typical assignment | Main capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| RECEPTIONIST (Receptionist) | Day-of reception | View attendees and approve, decline, or check them in. View the dashboard, tickets, speakers, staff, and more |
| COORDINATOR (Coordinator) | Program and attendee relations | Everything a receptionist can do, plus editing speakers, stages, and sessions |
| EDITOR (Editor) | Content owner | Everything a coordinator can do, plus editing meetings, side events, announcements, and feedback, and downloading the attendee CSV. However, editors cannot edit event settings, tickets, or payments |
| ADMIN (Admin) | Event lead | All operations. Only ADMIN can handle event settings, feature settings, ticket management, payments/refunds, and staff management |
Good to know
- Approving, declining, and checking in attendees can be done by every role, including RECEPTIONIST (Receptionist).
- Event settings, tickets, payments/refunds, and staff management are ADMIN (Admin) only. Even EDITOR (Editor) cannot edit these.
Designing your roles
- Limit ADMIN (Admin) to a small number of trusted people.
- Give external helpers a role with only the operations they need.
