Roles and permissions

In this section, you'll get an overview of how roles and permissions work in the Polyteia platform. Roles are a collection of permissions that define what content users can access and what they can edit. This ensures that only authorized persons can make changes – for a secure and efficient system.

Roles with a practical example

Imagine a city administration managing an urban development project. The Admin role corresponds to the mayor's office, which makes decisions and delegates tasks. Members – such as urban planners – manage budgets and coordinate tasks within established guidelines. Guests like external consultants have insight but cannot make changes.

Polyteia Role	Practical Example	Permissions
Admin	IT Coordinator or Department Head	Full access, make decisions, assign tasks and resources
Member	Administrative Staff	Manage budgets, plans, and teams
Guest	External Consultants	View and evaluate content, no editing possible

This structure creates clear responsibilities and enables smooth collaboration.
