On Virbela campuses there are a lot of tools that avatars can interact with. These tools range all the way from the doors and menus that allow users to access rooms to interacting with the image panels and web boards throughout. For some campuses, giving all the users of their world access to these tools can be a fun and collaborative experience. As for others, limiting access to some of these functions can ensure privacy and the ability to keep their campus looking the way they prefer. 

An easy way to organize which users have access to specific tools around campus is by assigning each user a Role. Roles are different permission levels that give users access to the tools around campus. There are five different Role levels and each of them comes with a default level of access that the campus owners can adjust to fit their needs from the app dashboard. 

The roles and their default permissions are as follows:

Members:

This is the lowest permission level and will be the default for users entering your campus unless specified otherwise in the invitation process through the app dashboard.
