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)
