HowNow's Org User Roles

Your Organisation User Role decides how you behave on the platform - whether you can share content, see Insights or hold the keys!

There are 4 Org User Roles on the platform.

Regardless of your role, you can learn from anything that's been made available to you, subscribe to Channels and manage your Profile!

Each User Role has additional responsibilities too. These are:

  • Admin: Can create content, enable/disable workspace Apps, see Insights for everybody in the entire company, add and remove Users and moderate content by deleting it.

  • Manager: Managers can create content to share with their selected Groups and see Insights for the Groups they're a Manager in.

  • Contributor: Contributors can create and manage the content to share with the Groups they're a Contributor in.

  • Read-Only: Can only view content.

Note✨: Despite not being official User Roles, Author, Collaborator and Verifier are functioning roles, exclusively associated with content creation. Budget Owner is exclusive to the management of Learning Budgets.

For a comprehensive view of everything each Org User Role can do, take a look at our table below.
