Purple Hub

Summary

In this article, you will learn how to assign a role to a user in Purple Hub. By default, Purple assigns new users the 'Purple Editor' role which will need to be changed, depending on the user's responsibilities and scope of work. To ensure at least one user has extended permissions for manipulating content in the Hub, you will need to assign at least one user with the Purple Managing Editor role.
