VIMP has five predefined roles. These are Administrator, Auditor, Moderator, (Logged-in) User, and Guest.
An administrator can assign one or more roles to a logged-in user in the backend (-> Users -> Edit). In addition, any number of custom roles can be added in VIMP Enterprise, VIMP Campus, and VIMP Ultimate.
An anonymous user/guest may view shared content in the frontend.
A logged-in user may upload media, edit their own data, and use community features (create groups, contact users, make friends...).
A moderator may also perform administrative tasks available in the frontend.
An administrator also has access to the portal’s administration interface. You could also say they can do everything.
An auditor (since VIMP 6.5) generally sees the same information as an administrator. However, they have read-only access and no write permissions.
Please note:
VIMP does not use a hierarchical structure for roles. If a user is assigned multiple roles, they receive the permissions of all assigned roles cumulatively. The permissions for each individual role can be modified as desired in the administration interface.
