Roles and permissions
Compare Admin and Contributor access, and see how role, module access and organisation scope work together.

What someone can do in Studio depends on three things set on their account: a role, module access and the organisations they're assigned to.

The two roles
| ADMIN | CONTRIBUTOR | |
|---|---|---|
| For | People who manage the account, users and settings | People who build campaigns day to day |
| Switch between their organisations | Yes | Yes |
| General Settings (Global) and Organization Settings | Yes | No: the menu doesn't show them |
| Create, edit or delete users | Yes | No |
Choose CONTRIBUTOR unless the person manages the account. The role applies to every organisation on the account: it can't differ from one organisation to another.
Module access
Module Access hides whole parts of Studio, whatever the role:
- Campaigns: campaigns, templates, rewards and files. The user also needs at least one organisation.
- Smartlinks: the Smart Links app. The organisation must also have Smart Links turned on.
Organisations
Even an admin only sees the organisations on their account, one at a time: see Multi-org access.
