There are different kinds of access rights: permissions, users roles and groups.

Permissions provide access to single features of applications, e.g. edit stories, use calendar, write blogs, etc.
Permissions are assigned to user roles, which, in turn, are assigned to the users. Only the Portal Master and some other manager roles can assign permissions to user roles.

Range of portal acces, the functions available to the user on the website or in the back end are all defined by user roles that are assigned to a user.

User roles give each user access to different features. User roles contain permissions which allow the users to do administrative things within the portal. One user role can contain several permissions.

In order to edit a user's role:
1. Go to Marketing & CRM> Users> Overview
2.Search for the user you wish to edit
3. Click on their name to be taken to their profile.
4. Click access rights on the left hand menu followed by user roles on the top tabs
5. Choose the roles you wish to assign and save. (If they are not visible by default click the show all roles button).

All user roles with the ending *Manager as well as Portal Master and Designer require a license. Furthermore other user roles can require a license as well, if e.g. a *_manage permission was assigned to a user role. All license required roles are marked in the license overview under Tools & Administration > Access Rights > License Overview.
