Permissions in Zuddl define the actions a user can take within the platform based on their assigned role. They help to establish boundaries for each participant, ensuring that users can access and modify only the areas relevant to their responsibilities. Permissions can range from viewing and interacting with session content to managing event settings, approving registrations, or modifying reports.

​
Why permissions are important

Permissions are essential for managing security, operational efficiency, and clarity within the event platform. By defining precise boundaries for what each user can do, event organizers ensure that no one has access to unnecessary features, reducing the potential for errors or unauthorized actions. Permissions also help in maintaining data security by controlling who can view sensitive information or alter event configurations. For example, an attendee should only have access to the event sessions and related features, while an organizer needs broader access, including the ability to modify event details and manage registrations.

Some examples

In a hybrid conference, the event organizer can assign permissions for each role:
  • Speakers are granted permission to manage their session content, view their attendee list, and access the stage for their presentation. However, they do not have access to other event management features like registration or booth setup.
  • Attendees, in contrast, can only access session content, interact through live chat, and take part in polls. They are excluded from accessing administrative features, such as attendee management or event settings.
  • Moderators have permission to manage Q&A, moderate chats, and ensure the smooth running of sessions, but do not have access to change event-wide settings or edit session content.
For a trade show, exhibitors may need to view and manage their booth details, download leads captured at their booth, and interact with attendees via chat. However, they should not have the ability to modify event-wide content or view other exhibitors’ lead data. Organizers can create a custom Exhibitor role with permissions specifically for booth management and lead capture, ensuring exhibitors have all the tools they need without compromising event security or integrity.
