Participants in TakeTurns collaborations can be assigned to one of four roles. Here’s a quick breakdown of the different roles participants can have in TakeTurns. Assigning the right roles to each participant in your party makes everyone’s responsibilities clear and helps your collaboration run smoothly and efficiently.
How to assign participant roles
- Navigate to the participant screen
- Add a new participant or select an existing participant
- Choose a role from the drop down menu
What are the differences between the various participant roles?
Leader
Leaders have all permissions, and each party must have at least one leader. When you create a collaboration, your role is set to leader for your party by default. Only leaders can end turns, manage participants, and close (or reopen) collaborations.
Contributor
Contributors can add and update content but cannot end turns, manage participants, or close the collaboration.
Follower
Followers can view the content of a collaboration and chat with participants but cannot make any changes to content. They’re “read only.”
Ghost
Ghosts are visible to their party, but invisible to the other party. The ghost has the same permissions as a follower, except they cannot chat. Ghosts are only available in the PLUS plan, and are perfect for situations like keeping a manager in the loop.
