Admin - An Admin user has full permissions throughout the platform. Admin users are the only ones that can add/edit/delete other users, change company settings, add new categories, as well as having full access to all Crowds and Groups.
Crowd Creator - Crowd creator permission allows the user to create new Crowds within a certain category. Note - to make any changes to the Crowd, a user also has to be the Crowd Owner. A Crowd Creator is automatically assigned as the Crowd Owner, but if this is changed by either them or an Admin user, editing privilages will be taken away for that Crowd
Crowd Owner - A Crowd Owner is the only user (except for Admin) that can change the settings, layout, membership or templates of a Crowd
Author - Assigning a user as an Author of a Crowd will give them the permission to add articles to a Crowd Profile page
Group Creator - Similar to a Crowd Creator, Group Creators have the ability to add Groups to the Crowd to which they have been assigned the privilege. As with Crowd Creators, they will automatically be assigned as a Group's owner and will have editing privileges until the owner has been reassigned
Group Owner - A Group Owner is the only user (except for Admin) that can change the settings, layout or roles of a Group
Moderators will be tasked with vetting each idea that is submitted to a Group before it becomes visible to the rest of the Crowd members. Moderators will also be able to move a Submission to another Group within a Challenge, and request Assessments from Assessors. This feature is an optional one. Find out more on Moderation here
Assessors are responsible for judging how aligned or achievable an idea is. A score is given to an idea based on the number of assessments given and the scores assigned to each measure. Assessors are assigned on a group level and will be able to add assessments, plans, actions, outcomes and surveys (from existing templates) to all Submissions within a Group. They will also be able to assign a team to any Submission in the Group. Find out more about the Assessment process here.
Authorisors are required to sign off on an outcome before it is published to the idea. This is an optional feature and would be in place if perhaps a Project or Team Lead wants to view and approve of outcomes on an idea before other members of the Crowd can see it.
Team Lead - A team lead is assigned to an individual Submission. They have all the permissions an Assessor does, but for one Submission rather than all Submissions in a Group. They can also assign and unassign Team Members. There can only be one Team Lead per Submission.
Team Members - As with a Team Lead, Team Members can do everything an Assessor can for the Submission they are assigned to. Unlike Team Leads, they cannot make any changes to the Team at all. Users can be assigned to multiple Teams across different Crowds and Groups if need be, there is no limit to the number of submissions' Teams a user can be added to. As many Team members as is needed can be added as Team Members
