Different roles available in Zoho CommunitySpaces

Overview

In this guide, you'll know about different roles and permissions in CommunitySpaces. The main roles are SuperHost, Host, and Member, with the option to create custom roles for specific needs.
CommunitySpaces offers distinct roles, each with its own set of permissions:
  1. SuperHost: Community creator with the highest level of permissions.

  2. Host: Manager with many permissions but some limitations.

  3. Member: General user with basic permissions for community participation.

  4. Custom roles: Other than the roles mentioned above, we also provide flexibility to create tailored roles and permissions for specific users.
