Assign user roles

A brief introduction to user roles and how to update/choose user roles

Updated over 10 months ago

This feature is included with all Blink subscriptions.

Understanding user roles is key to getting the most out of Blink.

There are four role types

  1. Basic users - this will be the majority of your users. They only have access to the main Blink app, so the Feed, Chats, Directory and Hub

  2. Team Admins - they have access to the ‘Admin Panel’, but a restricted view of only the users within the Teams they’re part of. They can help you manage your organization on a local-level. We often see Team Leads, Supervisors and Managers take on this role

  3. Content moderator - they have access to the ‘Admin Panel’, and can manage all content across the organization, including the Hub and Feed content

  4. Organization admin - these are our main users (like you!), who have unrestricted access to all parts of the ‘Admin Panel’

You can manager a user's role even after you've invited the user through the Admin Panel:

  1. Go to the "Users" module and search for/select the desired user

  2. Scroll down to "Role" at the bottom

  3. Select the drop-down

  4. Click on the role you'd like to assign

  5. Save your changes.

'Team Admins' can be assigned via the Teams section of the Admin Panel as well:

  1. Select the Team

  2. Click the three dots (...) next to the user

  3. Grant Team Admin permissions
