User Permissions & Types of User Profiles

  • Updated

A Bynder administrator can assign users to a specific permission type in order to control what they can do in a portal. There are three different permission types:  Light, Regular, and Heavy users. Bynder has a default set of rights that define the Heavy, Regular, and Light user types however you can customize these per user type to fit your use case. 

Contact your Customer Success Manager to determine how many seats you have per permission profile.

Visit the Permissions Management section of your portal to see how many active users you have per permission profile.

The permissions are outlined below:
