User Roles

Understanding the different user types and their permissions

Dec 5, 2025

The platform supports four distinct user roles, each with specific capabilities and access levels. Understanding these roles helps you set up and manage your loyalty programs effectively.

Role Hierarchy

Administrator
    └── Manager (optional)
          └── Partner (Business Owner)
                └── Staff Member
                      └── Customer (Member)

Administrators

What they are: Platform owners with full system access.

Capabilities

  • Create and manage all networks
  • Create partner and manager accounts
