Advanced User Permissions
Permissions add a whole new level of world management customization by letting you assign specialized roles to people you trust and want to collaborate with. World Admins can use these roles in a variety of ways... from giving broadcaster mode to speakers, to lending a helping hand assigning permission to others.
Choose From 5 Unique Administration Roles:
Assign permissions to users based on the specific part you'd like them to play in your world or event experience. Designate Moderators for your community meetup, a Manager for your conference, a Designer for your virtual office, and more.
