Permissions
Permissions allow you to configure which user roles have access to ideation. When you grant a user role access to ideation the users within this role can view, create, reply and vote for ideas. Use permissions to only grant some user segments access (e.g. beta testers, premium customers, colleagues)
How to configure permissions
- Go to Control → Platform → Ideation
- Click Permissions
- Grant or Revoke default and custom roles access to ideation
- Click Save changes

Tip: To make ideas only available for registered users (behind a login wall) uncheck the following default roles:
- Users Awaiting E-mail Confirmation
- Waiting for moderator approval
- Unregistered / Not Logged In
