To change who can see the input, select who you would like to view the input from the options available in the Manage Input Visibility box at the top right-hand side of the screen.

Check the tick box to select who can view the input. The roles built-in to ATC are as follows. Bespoke roles with customised permissions can also be set up.

Built-in Roles	Permissions and Purpose
Moderators	Moderators are able to moderate any inputs for their crowd. Their role is to review all inputs as they are received, edit them if required, delete them if appropriate, and allocate them to the correct process owner.
Public	The Public is everyone in the world. Permissions cannot be granted to the Public, who are best thought of as a security group. If you want to make an input entirely public, so that everyone is able to view it, set it's input security to Public (Everyone in the World).
Process Owners	A Process Owner should be thought of as the person who is accountable for the inputs which are assigned to them. The buck stops with them.
Users	Users are all crowd members. As with the Public, permissions cannot be granted to 'Users' who are again best thought of as a security group. If you want to make an input visible to everyone in the Crowd, set it's input security to Users (All Crowd Members)'.

Click 'Save Changes' to save the new security settings.
If at any point you wish to Lock the input again simply click the Lock This Input button.
