In Howspace, there are three main types of users: Main users, Admin users, and Participants.

Each Howspace account has at least one main user. Main users can manage the whole Howspace account through Main user dashboard. Main users can see all the workspaces and define the default workspace settings, manage workspace creation rights, and access usage data of their account. More information about the Main user dashboard can be found here.

Every workspace has at least one admin user. Admins can edit the page layouts and add content, change workspace settings, add users (participants and other administrators), send emails, and monitor the activity in the workspace.

Admins are, by default, also participants, but they can manually toggle their role to be only an admin from their profile. If they are only admins, they are not counted in chat views, and they cannot answer to assignments. This can be useful if the admin wants to stay "hidden" in the workspace.

Participants can access the workspace but cannot alter settings or page layouts. Participants are added to the workspace by workspace admin users.

Admin can give page admin rights to any participant from page settings. This means that the participant gets admin rights for the selected page. Page admin can manage page settings and edit page layout but cannot access Workspace manager features, like workspace settings or user management. The admin menu is not visible for page admins.
