The Three Roles in Practice
Setup & Design
Administrator
Configures colors, defines global terms, and sets up base views. This is set up once at project kickoff and rarely altered afterwards.
Typically: Your web agency
Operational Lead
Editor
The operational control room: Master Editor, Dashboard, CSV sync, and all programme items. The right role for your daily program team.
Typically: Your program team
Contributors
Author
Creates and manages own sessions; can add venues, categories, and roles. Cannot modify or delete items created by other users.
Typically: External contributors

The administrator tabs are never delivered to Authors or Editors in HTML output. Even direct requests through browser address bars are intercepted and rerouted to permitted tabs.
