# Introducing New Team Roles for Better Event Management on KonfHub

Managing an event often requires collaboration between multiple team members, each responsible for different aspects of the event. To make team management more flexible and secure, **KonfHub’s Event Dashboard** now includes **new team roles with clearly defined permissions**.

These new roles allow organizers to **assign responsibilities more precisely**, ensuring that every team member has the access they need—while sensitive areas remain protected.

Let’s explore the updated role structure and how it helps streamline event management.

## **Existing Roles in the Team Section**

Before introducing the new roles, the dashboard already supported the following roles:

**1.Event Creator Role**

The **Event Creator** is the primary owner of the event and has **complete control over the dashboard**, including:

*   Event settings and configurations
    
*   Financial details and settlements
    
*   Team management
    
*   Participants and communication
    
*   Reports and downloads
    

This role has **full access to all features** within the event dashboard.

**2\. Admin Role**

Admins assist the event creator with managing the event and have **almost complete access** to the dashboard.

**Permissions include:**

*   Managing event settings
    
*   Handling participants and communications
    
*   Accessing reports and downloads
    
*   Managing content and sessions
    

**Restriction**:  
Admins **cannot access bank details**.

**3**.**Admin (No Downloads) - Role**

This role is similar to the Admin role but is designed for scenarios where **data downloads must be restricted**.

**Permissions include:**

*   Full event management access
    
*   Participant management
    
*   Content updates
    

**Restrictions:**

*   Cannot access bank details

## **Newly Introduced Team Roles**

To provide even more control over event management responsibilities, three new roles have been added:

*   **Member Role**
    
*   **Member (No Downloads) Role**
    
*   **Content Manager Role**

These roles help organizers delegate tasks without giving unnecessary access to sensitive sections.

**1.Member Role**

The **Member** role is ideal for team members who need to assist with most event operations but **should not have access to financial or administrative settings**.

**Members can:**

*   Manage most sections of the event dashboard
    
*   View and manage event content
    
*   Work with sessions, speakers, and other event details
    
*   Assist with operational tasks across the event dashboard
    

**Members cannot access:**

*   Developers section
    
*   Payments and Taxes
    
*   Settlements
    
*   Team management section (adding or managing team members)
    

### **Additional restriction for the Exhibitor Portal**

Within the **Exhibitor Portal**, Members **cannot manage tasks or responses related to exhibitors**.

This ensures operational support while keeping administrative controls restricted.

**2.Member (No Downloads) Role**

The **Member – No Downloads** role provides the **same permissions as the Member role**, but with one additional restriction.

**Members with this role:**

*   Have access to the same sections as a Member
    
*   Can manage event-related tasks and content
    

**Restrictions:**

*   Cannot access:
    
    *   Developers
        
    *   Payments and Taxes
        
    *   Settlements
        
    *   Team management
        
    *   **Cannot download any data**
        

This role is particularly useful for **temporary staff, volunteers, or external collaborators** who need access to manage event tasks without exporting event data.

**3**.**Content Manager Role**

The **Content Manager** role is designed specifically for individuals responsible for **managing event content** such as sessions, speakers, and event information.

This role is perfect for **marketing teams, content editors, or event coordinators** who need to update event information without accessing operational or financial areas.

**Content Managers can:**

*   Manage and update event content
    
*   Work on event pages, sessions, speakers, and related content elements
    

**Content Managers cannot access:**

*   Participants
    
*   Contacting participants
    
*   Team management
    
*   Payments and settlements
    
*   Post-event features
    
*   Gamification
    
*   Apps & Utilities
    

Their permissions are strictly limited to **content management**, ensuring sensitive operational areas remain protected.
