User Roles and Rights

Updated over a week ago

In Elium, there is a distinction between the generic role of the users (system role), independent of their affiliation to spaces, and a specific role per space.

The combination of the system role and the role in the space grants the user certain rights.

Space Roles

SCENARIO C

Scenario C

This user has a personal space; they can freely access public spaces and only have read-only rights in space A.
