Assigning Roles

Roles are assigned by Process Owners in the 'Roles & Users' menu option.

Out of the box, there are five roles built-in to the ATC platform, each with specific permissions.

These permissions cannot be changed, however new bespoke roles can also be set up, and any of the permissions or Features available can be granted to a bespoke role.

When anyone sets up a crowd in ATC, they are automatically assigned the roles Process Owner, Moderator and User for that crowd.

When anyone joins a crowd in ATC, they are automatically assigned the role All Crowd Members for that Crowd.

Any User can be assigned the roles Core User, Moderator or Process Owner, by a Process Owner, but Core Users must first be purchased before a User has can be assigned as a Core User.
