Roles & Permissions
GoVista has six built-in roles. You can't create new roles, but an admin can tune what each role can do from Settings > Team.
What each role can do
- Create / edit content & playlists — Admin and Editor only.
- Create & deploy schedules — Admin and Editor; Regional and Store Managers can deploy within their own scope.
- Approve content — Admin only (Editors submit content for approval).
- Add devices & send remote commands — Admin and IT.
- View analytics — everyone (Regional and Store Managers see only their scope).
- Manage the team & settings — Admin only.
Scoped access
Regional and Store Managers have scoped access: they only see and act on resources in their assigned region or store, and there they can deploy schedules and view analytics — not create, edit or approve content.
Adjusting permissions
An admin can change the permission values of the six built-in roles (for example, whether Editors can deploy without approval). You cannot add, rename or delete roles — the set of six is fixed.
Because permissions are set per role, not per person, changing a role updates everyone who has it.
