Each member of a team has to have a role. It defines the access level they have in the project group. The currently available default roles are:
- Admin
- Complete set of permissions
- Producer
- Permissions to create questionnaires and pages and to upload materials
- Moderator
- Permissions to moderate discussion on a project web page
- Translator
- Permissions to view and translate questionnaires and project web pages
Roles are defined when a member is invited to a team, but they can also be changed later. This can be done under the Members tab by picking the new role from the drop-down menu under the member's name and clicking Assign.
You can manage the permissions related to a role under the Roles tab (as shown in the image below). To add or delete permissions from a role, simply (un)check the boxes and click Save. Remember that if you made changes to a role that has already been assigned to team members, you need to re-assign the role to them following the steps described above.
What do the different rights in user roles mean?
User rights related to team management:
- View team, Deactivate team, Delete team = These give the right to view the team and all information related to it and to deactivate (essentially archiving, means that the team cannot be used until it is restored) or delete it.
- Edit profile = You need this right to be able to edit the profile of them team, e.g. its title and description. These will also affect the content of the public front page included in the Webpage Builder module.
- View license = You are able to see the license(s) and subscriptions that your team has.
- View access = You are able to view the different access permissions that different members of your team have.
- Modify access = You are able to modify the access permissions.
- View members = You are able to view members in your team and what roles they have been assigned.
- Add members, Remove members = You can invite new members to your team or remove members from your team.
- View subgroups, Modify subgroups = You are able to see information related to the subgroups of this team and modify them.
- View logs = This means that you can view the auditing logs of the team. These record all actions taken within the team and can be used to track who has done what within your team. You can find these logs (Download event logs) under the Reports tab in team settings.
Please note! The user permissions above control access to the team. As such, we recommend to reserve these rights only for those users who are to be administrators of the team. To be able to invite new members to the team, a user must have at least the View team, View access, Modify access, View members and Add members user permissions.
