World-level user permissions

By assigning special permissions to your team members, you can take collaboration and customization to a whole new level. Learn how to appoint Administrators, Moderators, and more.

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. 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.

Only World Owners and World Administrators can access the Dashboard.

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.

In brief, the current World-level user types are:

Owner

World Owners are responsible for managing billing details for their account, and can review their past invoices via the Dashboard.

In addition, World Owners can:

• Access the Dashboard.

• Purchase additional seats, Daily Passes, and World Credits.

• Request pre-allocation for events.

• Create and edit Regions, filter Shop contents, make use of World customization options.

• Edit all meetings hosted on the World.

• Access platform analytics and make decisions about user privacy and data collection.

• Access all moderator tools.

• Log in to their World while it is offline.

• Upload content to Curator and approve their own content.

• Review and approve content uploaded by other users.

• Modify or overwrite any content uploaded by other users.

• Appoint World Administrators and change user types through the Dashboard or CSV.

Administrator

World Administrators can perform many of the same tasks as World Owners, except they will not have access to billing information. They also cannot appoint additional World Administrators.

World Administrators can:

• Access the Dashboard.

• Purchase additional Daily Passes and World Credits.

• Request pre-allocation for events.

• Create and edit Regions, filter Shop contents, make use of World customization options.

• Edit all meetings hosted on the World.

• Access platform analytics and make decisions about user privacy and data collection.

• Access all moderator tools.

• Log in while the World is offline.

• Upload content to Curator and approve their own content.

• Review and approve content uploaded by other users.

• Modify or overwrite any content uploaded by other users.

• Change sub-Admin user types through the Dashboard.

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.

World Moderators can:

• Edit all meetings hosted on the World.

• Access all moderator tools.

• Log in while the World is offline.

• Access Region settings in order to mute and block abusive users.

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 to Curator and approve their own content.

• Review and approve content uploaded by other users.

• Modify or overwrite any content uploaded by other users.

• List uploaded items for sale on the Breakroom Shop.

• Access all moderator tools.

• Log in while the World is offline.

• Access the Region Editor.

After you have granted a user World Developer permissions, they will need to log in to Curator and accept the Terms and Conditions before they can access the preview grid.

Member

World Members occupy a seat and don't have any special privileges. You may choose to assign World Members advanced Region-level permissions.

Guest

World Guest accounts are created when:

• You create user accounts by uploading a CSV, 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. In this case, the extra user accounts will be created as Guests.

• User accounts are automatically generated by Eventbrite, or any automated registration process you may choose to use.

When World Guest accounts log in for the first time, their account status will be updated to Active. Member-type accounts and higher are always given login priority over Guest accounts.
