Configuring a challengeStep 9 of 90:14 video

Give people a role

Let colleagues help run the challenge with a challenge role.

Challenge roles decide what people can do in a challenge, beyond taking part. New challenges come with three roles:

  • Manager: everything, including the settings. You have this role on challenges you create.
  • Read-only viewer: can see the settings, ideas and project board but not change them.
  • Project manager: can see ideas and work on the project board.

You can change what each role allows on its Permissions tab, or click Create new role to make your own.

  1. On the Access & Permissions page of your challenge’s settings, find the role under Challenge roles and click Manage. Here we choose Read-only viewer.

  2. Open the Assignment tab.

  3. Click Assign users, search for your colleague and tick them in the results.

  4. Click Assign users to confirm. Your colleague is listed under Currently assigned users and now has the role’s permissions.

Click Done when you’re finished. To take a role away again, select the person in the list and click Unassign. Add co-managers before you open the challenge, so the whole team can review ideas from the start.
