Creating a Custom Permission Role

Purpose

To outline how to create a custom permission role and set specific access levels for users within your site's Administration settings.

What You Can Do

From the Manage Permission Roles screen, you can:

• Create new custom permission roles

• Select a permission type based on StageStock or VirtualCallboard needs

• Customize which system actions each role can perform

• Name roles according to job titles or workflow responsibilities

• Standardize access for large teams or recurring seasonal users

How to Create a Custom Permission Role

1. Navigate to:
   Administration Tab → Site Administration → Manage Permission Roles

2. Click Add Role.

3. Select the Permission Type for the new role:

   • Administrative — Common Permissions

   • Administrative — VirtualCallboard

   • Administrative — StageStock

4. Enter a Role Name.
   Sites often choose job-based titles (e.g., Costume Shop Lead, SM Team, Designer Access, Student Admin).

5. Select the permissions this role should include.

   • Common permissions appear in both VirtualCallboard and StageStock permission charts.

   • Use the charts to understand what each permission controls.

6. Click Save to create the role.

Important Notes

• New roles do not apply automatically — they must be assigned to users individually.

• Review custom roles annually or per production cycle to ensure they still match your workflow.

• Some permissions unlock administrative tools; testing with a non-critical account is recommended.
