At A Glance

1. Go to Roles Page in your Tangram admin account
2. Add a new role or click "Manage" on an existing one

Go To The Admin Roles Page

Login to your admin account in Tangram and navigate to "Settings" > "Roles".

How To Add A New Role

If you want to have a multi-sided marketplace with more than 2 distinct roles (e.g. customer & vendor) please contact us directly and we will help you add more user roles.

‍

Navigation:

Here you can define what pages each user role has access to in their in-app menu (the hamburger icon in the top right of their Tangram user portal/account). See how to manage the navigation menu for each user here.

‍

Inputs:

Here you can define what information you want to collect from users of this role when they signup or in their account settings.
