This article provides an overview of all the roles available in Purple Manager for selection/assignment to users, listing their capabilities and configuration options.

Member is the Purple Manager role that a user has when they are invited to join a team without being assigned a role. Such a user will be able to see the team's apps and publications in Purple Manager, but will not be able to edit anything. These are the same rights that a Hub Editor automatically has in Purple Manager.

In this Purple Manager role, a user can manage all publications assigned to him/her, e.g. create new issues or publish issues in the Live App.

The Hub Editor role is created in Purple Manager and can also be used in the Purple Hub. This means that a user with this role can log in to the corresponding Purple Hub automatically. This role is intended to be used for Hub Users who mainly work in the Purple Hub and don't need to be able to make changes in Purple Manager.

In this Purple Hub role, a user can manage all Apps assigned to him/her explicitly, e.g. create new issues or publish issues in the Live App.

The permissions of this Purple Manager role are focussed on all tasks that serve to configure and build apps. As App Admin, the user is allowed to edit apps, which means they can edit all tabs of the 'App Tab Control', including sharing, subscriptions, etc. In this role, a user can also manage all apps assigned to them, e.g. they can send push messages or create new publications.

The role of an Account Admin contains all capabilities that an App Manager and an Editor have, which means it give the user the most extensive rights. He has the ability to create new apps, invite other members and make changes to the rights of other team members. This role also includes all the rights of App Admin and Editor.

As the menu items in the Purple Manager sidebar are not connected to apps or publications, only Account Admins have access to these settings. Similarly, only account admins can manage team settings, including inviting new users to the team and granting them permissions to manage apps and publications.
