# Positions and Special Permissions

In the Facilitator Team Table *positions* and *special permissions* can be assigned to give participants **access to certain features**. 

## The differences

Positions and special permissions have some differences:

**Positions** 

* can only apply to **one** player (are exclusive)
* the features (permissions) unlocked are specific to the exercise and affect impersonation and possibly content that's received

**Special permissions** 

* can be applied to **all** participants (not exclusive)

## Positions

Create your positions in the Editor.
