Domain-Wide User Permission Levels

MangoApps supports three main types of domain user permissions:

1. Creator/Administrator (Network Admin)

• Full access to all content, users, groups, and projects.

• Manages administrative settings and permissions.

2. Network User

• Regular users without administrative privileges.

• Access can be limited to internal email domains or extended to external addresses by the Domain Administrator.

• Can be promoted to Team Admins and/or given limited administrative permissions within the domain.

3. Guest User

• Restricted to specific groups and projects they are explicitly invited to.

• Cannot access domain-wide content or communications outside their assigned groups/projects.

Permissions at the domain level do not override or apply to permissions at the team level. These operate independently. For more information on Admin Roles, click here.

Capabilities of Guest Users

Guest Users are non-paid, restricted members who interact within the confines of specific groups or projects.

• Visibility: Can only view the groups and projects they are invited to.

• Communication: Can only communicate with team members within their groups/projects.

• Domain Access: Cannot search or view content outside of their groups/projects.

• Free Membership: Do not count towards the domain’s subscription cost.

• Email Domain: Must have an external email domain (different from the domain owner’s).
