In Neutopia, every role — Admin, Manager, Contributor, Member Plus, or Member — comes with unique responsibilities and permissions designed to make the platform efficient and collaborative. Understanding these roles helps you navigate and maximise your experience. This guide breaks down each role and how it fits into the community.

Roles in Neutopia define what you can do on the platform, such as managing users or creating content, while permissions include actions like editing events, approving group requests, or updating branding. This structure ensures the right people manage the right areas of the community, keeping everything organised and efficient.

1. Admin:

Owns the community. Sees all platform and community settings. The only role that can change anyone's role, including Managers. There's only one Admin per community, kept to a single owner for security.

2. Manager:

Runs day-to-day platform settings. Edits any content regardless of who created it, invites and removes members, changes all configurations, creates events, and has access to moderation tools. Cannot reassign another Manager's or the Admin's role — that's Admin-only.

3. Contributor:

Content only — no moderation or member management. Creates and edits content they own or are invited to collaborate on, and creates events. Can be made admin of a single page (e.g. a company or hub page), scoped to that page only.

4. Member Plus:

Everything a Member can do, plus adding content to the Library.

5. Member:

Standard participation — feed, groups, events (RSVP), messaging. The default role for most users.

6. Guest (Planned — not yet active):

View-only. A planned future role for use cases like prospective students — not yet available on the live platform.
