Predefined Team Roles and Team Roles basics

This article will show you how to assign predefined team roles to staff members or volunteers helping with your event. 

In Handbid, the Teams feature allows you to assign roles to your team members.  Each predefined Team role has different levels of governance and permissions so that you can determine who needs access to specific processes and information for your event.  

The predefined Team roles are:

Predetermined roles

This section will show you how to choose a predetermined role for teams and what each team member can/can’t see with the specified roles. We are using an item manager as an example below. The predetermined roles are preset permissions that can be edited at any time. You can always add or remove permissions to predetermined roles.
