Definition of roles
It is possible to join the platform under two different statuses:
The guest status, which allows the user to restrict his navigation on the platform by limiting him to defined groups.
The member status, which allows free navigation on the platform.
When a member joins the platform, he can remain a member or also be given additional rights. He can take on the role of :
platform administrator
administrator of groups
administrator of user groups
platform owner
Group manager
Home page manager
_⚠️_: it is important to distinguish role and status. A user can have the status of member or guest.
A guest is a user who’s been invited to join the platform with limited access. He only sees the groups he’s been integrated into and can only publish content in these groups.
