To create roles that can later be assigned to your guests
To pre-set default permissions for all of the roles
This should save you the work of assigning the same permissions for multiple guest users if they all have the same role
Hints And Tips!
The features and marketplaces accessible to a guest user are a union of the accessible features/marketplaces assigned to the guest and features/marketplaces assigned to the role itself.
That is, if the role itself has access to one marketplace and the guest user (being assigned to that role) has access to two other marketplaces, that guest will have access to three total marketplaces. Same applies to accessible features.
If most of your guests will have access to the same marketplaces and features, you can simply assign them one of the roles that suits them and all of the role’s permissions and features will apply for those guests.
Out of those guests if only a few will need additional permissions, you can edit those specific guests manually from the Guest Access settings screen.
Note: You can only select additional permissions from the Guest Access screen, but you cannot delete ones assigned to the role itself from there. We suggest that you create multiple roles with a varying number of permissions so you can assign one with the required permissions and edit the guest directly on top of that.
