Permissions - Contact roles
Contact roles are used to create roles (i.e. a collection of rights and options) for contacts. These roles can then be assigned to a contact or all contacts in a privacy group (not the group itself). This restricts or extends the possibilities of contacts.
The ‘Contact roles’ app can be used to create roles that correspond to the channel roles. This permission role can then be assigned to individual contacts or all contacts in a privacy group in the contact editor or privacy group editor.
