Organization and Issuer Permission Structure

Organization and Issuer Permission Structure

Why use permissions?

Badgr offers a number of permission options both in our free version and for our paid pro subscriptions. These permissions allow you to choose how you wish to structure your organization. You can decide who is able to create or edit your badges, issuers, and organization. If you are using Badgr Pro, organization Admins are automatically added as an owner on all organization issuers. Additionally, these permission roles carry over to Canvas and Pathways. 

Below is a list of Badgr's issuer permission levels, and what each role is able to do in Badgr.
