How to: Grant & Manage User Permissions
Streamline your project workflow across every team with full and limited user access based on roles.
The Brandlive Platform offers several user roles to ensure all team members have access to the right projects and information. Users can have one or multiple roles which can be changed at anytime. Maintain full control of your content via full access Admins, partial access Editors based on project group, and limited user roles such as Developer, Viewer, Moderator, and Analyst.
User Roles & Permissions Overview
The platform offers nine user roles to accommodate every team member, including outside vendors. Users with limited access roles can be added to project groups to allow access to specific projects as opposed to all projects in the channel (default). To learn more about project groups, check out our article here.
Admin: Full access to all projects and functionality with the ability to add other users to the channel. Only role that cannot be combined with other roles.
