# World-level user permissions
## Overview
There are two categories of user permissions that you can assign to teammates, event coordinators, or end users—**World-level permissions**, and [**Region-level permissions**](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/region-level-user-permissions). It is important to note that these two categories are distinct, with their own separate spheres of influence and control. On this page, we will discuss World-level user types.
{% hint style="info" %}
Only [World Owners](#owner) and [World Administrators](#administrator) can access the Dashboard.
{% endhint %}
## World-level user types
Users with advanced World-level permissions have *broad powers that apply to the entirety of your Breakroom World*, but *not necessarily powers that apply to individual Regions*. Users with advanced World-level permissions generally have powers that allow them to manage your Breakroom account, oversee events, and upload new content.

It may be helpful to think of advanced World-level permissions as those you can assign and manage through the [Dashboard](https://docs.breakroom.tech/building-new-worlds/breakroom-dashboard-tour).
In brief, the current World-level user types are:

{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Moderator" %}
World Moderators have universal access to the moderator controls, so they can moderate events held in any Region. They do not have access to the Dashboard, and they cannot administrate or edit any Regions unless they own that Region or have been given advanced [Region-specific permissions](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/region-level-user-permissions).

{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Developer" %}
World Developers can create and upload content to your World, as well as approve content uploaded by other users. They can also edit existing Regions using the in-world Region Editor.
World Developers can:
* [Upload content](https://docs.breakroom.tech/advanced-tutorials/uploading-your-own-region/pushing-items-to-the-live-server) to Curator and approve their own content.
* [Review](https://docs.breakroom.tech/advanced-tutorials/uploading-your-own-region/testing-items-on-the-preview-server) and [approve ](https://docs.breakroom.tech/advanced-tutorials/uploading-your-own-region/pushing-items-to-the-live-server)content uploaded by other users.

{% hint style="info" %}
After you have granted a user World Developer permissions, they will need to [log in to Curator](https://docs.breakroom.tech/advanced-tutorials/uploading-your-own-region/pushing-items-to-the-live-server) and accept the Terms and Conditions before they can access the [preview grid](https://docs.breakroom.tech/advanced-tutorials/uploading-your-own-region/testing-items-on-the-preview-server).
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Member" %}
World Members occupy a seat and don't have any special privileges. You may choose to assign World Members [advanced Region-level permissions](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/region-level-user-permissions).
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Guest" %}
World Guest accounts are created when:
* You create user accounts by [uploading a CSV](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/..#importing-and-exporting-user-lists), and do not specify another user type in the **Type field**.
* While creating user accounts by uploading a CSV, you attempt to import more users than you have available [seats](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/seats-and-concurrency). In this case, the extra user accounts will be created as Guests.
* User accounts are automatically generated by [Eventbrite](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/eventbrite-integration), or any automated registration process you may choose to use.
When World Guest accounts log in for the first time, their account [status](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/..#managing-user-status) will be updated to *Active*. Member-type accounts and higher are always given login priority over Guest accounts.

Pictured: The Dashboard > Manage Users tab.
You can assign advanced World-level permissions to individual users by following the steps below.
1. Navigate to your [Dashboard](https://docs.breakroom.tech/building-new-worlds/breakroom-dashboard-tour).
2. Click on the **Manage Users tab**.
3. Locate the name of the user whose permissions you want to edit. (Tip: You can use the **search field** to search by name or email address.) Click the **pencil icon** to the right of their name.
4. In the Edit User window that appears, click on the **permissions type** you would like to assign.
5. Click the **Update button** to save your changes.
To revoke advanced World-level permissions, repeat the steps above and select a new user type (e.g. *Member*). You can learn more about [creating and managing user accounts](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts) in our [Opening the Doors section](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors).
