Roles and permissions
Updated
by Julia Walther
As admin you have the possibility to assign individual access permissions to each user of your Sweap account within the account settings under 'Roles & Permissions'. There are pre-installed default roles, but as an admin you can also create new roles at any time and define individually which permissions should be given to each new role.
Creating a role
As admin you can assign different roles to each user. All further information about users and creating users can be found here.
A role contains the permissions that can be granted individually to each user of your Sweap account. You can assign a role in the 'Account Settings' under the heading 'Users & Permissions'. Then go to 'Roles'.
When setting up the permissions of a role, the following must be taken into account:
Usually there are four standards within each area that can be granted to the respective role: 'view', 'create', 'modify' and 'delete'.
- 'view' means that the user can see the respective section in Sweap (for example attributes or emails)
- if you grant the right 'create', the user can create something new, for example a guest or a contact
- with the type 'modify' you grant the right to change existing data. However, this only applies to existing data
- the last type 'delete' gives the right to delete individual elements and data
In addition to these four standard types of permissions and accesses, special permissions can also be granted in the individual areas. Within the invitation and registration process, for example, you can grant the right to send emails and view the email log. Furthermore, you can also specify in the event-related data that codes for the personalised invitation process can be generated and exported.
As admin you have the right to grant users the right to purchase licenses for your account. However, you should carefully consider who should receive this authorization.
