Note
You can easily manage a Member's capabilities for your entire Space, a module, or a single post.

The effective Capability of a Member is derived through the following process:

UI Steps


UI Step

Accessibility

If the Member has been marked as an Organizer, they will automatically be able to complete any action on the Space.

If they are a Member, move on to the next step.


UI Step

Roles and Permissions

Along with assigning a Role or Permission directly to a Member, it can also be assigned to a Membership, Tag, or Taxon.  When determining whether a Member has a Capability, the Platform will take into account the Member's current Membership along with any associated Tags and Taxons.

If any Roles or Permissions are found, the highest level will be the Member's Capability.  If none are found, move on to the next step.


UI Step

Accessibility

If a Member has no explicit or inherited Roles or Permissions, the Accessibility will determine whether a Post should be visible

A Permission gives a capability for a specific post
