Overview of User Types & Permissions

The difference between Admins, Team Members and Event Staff

Overview

In Circa, every user belongs to a single Workspace. Within a Workspace, there are three types of users: Admin, Team Member and Event Staff.  

Circa Subscriptions are based on the number of Team Members (including Admins) in your Workspace. You can add unlimited Event Staff to your Workspace.

User Type Key Permissions
Workspace Admin
  • Has full access to the Workspace
  • Can manage all users, Teams and Events
  • Is automatically a Team Member on all Teams
  • Count towards the Team Member limit in your Subscription
  • Is not necessarily on the Event Staff of any Events (see below)
Team Member
  • Has full access to all Events in their Team
  • Can manage other Team Members in their Team
  • Count towards the Team Member limit in your Subscription
  • Is not necessarily on the Event Staff of any Events in their Team (see below)
Event Staff
  • Can have full or limited access to a specific Event
  • When limited access, can view an Event, but cannot update it
  • Also when limited access, cannot view the Event Budget
  • Do not count towards the Team Member limit in your Subscription, if they are not also a Team Member (see below)

Admins are automatically Team Members

Workspace Admins are automatically Members of all the Teams in their Workspace. Hence they have Full Access to all Events in their Workspace and count against the Team Member Subscription limit.

Team Members aren't necessarily Event Staff

Team Members have full access to all the Events in their Team, but aren't automatically added to the Staff for all the Events in their Teams. Thus a user can be a Team Member of one team and only on the Staff of an Event in another Team.
