eSCRIBE supports a number of different user roles. At a high-level, these can be broken into 4 groups: Administrators, Participants, Contributors, and Visitors.

Administrators

Administrators are responsible for all aspects of the eSCRIBE system, and have a high level of access permissions. They manage meeting types and attendee groups, create meetings, build/publish agendas, take minutes, and manage tasks and follow-up items.

The eSCRIBE Administrator role can be further split into roles such as Meeting Administrator, Meeting Type Administrator, Attendee Group Administrators, etc. For a full description of Administrator user roles and example scenarios, please see section "eSCRIBE Administrator Roles" below.

Participants

Participants are the users who attend eSCRIBE meetings, and can be either voting or non-voting participants. The role played by a participant may differ within various eSCRIBE meeting sites.

Participants access the eSCRIBE system through either the Participant web portal (using the same login directions as outlined above), or via eSCRIBE’s mobile applications on either the iPad or Windows devices.

Contributors

Contributors are the users who create content which is ultimately added to eSCRIBE meeting sites. Primary users of the Report Manager module, the eSCRIBE Contributor Portal provides access to reports and other submissions, action items, and eSCRIBE meeting sites.

Visitors

Visitors are able to see meetings where Visitor view is enabled. Visitors are eSCRIBE users who are not part of the attendee group, but should have access to meetings once they are published for visitors. This role may be used in on its own or in conjunction with another role. For example, if a contributor also wishes to view meetings as a visitor.

Task Manager

The Task Manager role allows a user to create and manage tasks either inside a meeting, or via the Action Log Tasks.
