Channel User Permission Levels

Channel users may have one of four permission levels:

  • Member: This access level allows the user to view content only.
  • Contributor: This access level allows the user to view and add content to a channel. Content added to the channel may be subject to moderation, if the channel is configured to require moderation.
  • Moderator: This access level allows the user to view and add content. The user can approve content additions to a channel that requires moderation.
  • Manager: This access level provides administrator permissions and is the same level as the channel owner. Managers may add, update, or delete content and users.
