Understanding user roles

Buyer and creator roles

A standard account can browse, search, purchase, download licensed products, and manage account settings. A creator role adds access to the creator application, store tools, product management, and payout features after approval.

• You do not need a creator role to buy products.
• Creator access is controlled by the approved application status.
• One account can have buyer and creator responsibilities.

Staff and elevated roles

Moderator, administrator, and founder roles provide staff controls for reports, users, products, and system configuration. Elevated permissions are assigned by the platform and are not requested through the normal creator application.
