In Beacon there are three predefined roles: viewer, editor, and manager. This article will teach you what each role is capable of.

All users are able to edit their own user information, set their own notification preferences for robots, and chat with the ability to edit their own chat messages. They can also view the following within their team: other users, organization details, team details, robot notification channels, notifications, charts, robots, parts, part settings libraries, and playlists.

Viewers are restricted from editing all entities (with the exception of their own user).

Operators are similar to viewers, but have a few more privileges. They have the added abilities to manage a robot's playlist and change the part's start position.
