About the Challenge Admin role
A Challenge Admin is a role that can be assigned to admin users in order to restrict the actions they can perform as an end user within a challenge.
This new role is useful when running competitions in which admin users (ie Challenge Manager, evaluator) cannot also participate in the Challenge.
Once enabled, users subject to the Admin only role have the following restrictions:
-
Cannot add an idea
-
Cannot create a team and/or be a team member (Idea or Challenge team)
-
Are not required to accept the Challenge Agreement (if applicable) to view ideas
If the Challenge Manager enables the setting, they can also select the roles that are subject to the above permissions. The affected roles are all enabled by default when turning on the setting.
- Site and Community Admins
- Challenge Managers
- Lead Evaluators and Evaluators
Who can do this? Platform site Admins, Community Admins for assigned communities, and Challenge Managers for assigned Challenges.
How to enable
-
Go to your Challenge.
-
Select Manage > Edit Challenge.
-
On the General tab, select Roles.
- Toggle on Enable admin only role

-
Click Save.
- Users with the admin only role permissions are still subject to the permissions for viewing ideas (ie if ideas are private, an evaluator can only view ideas in the applicable evaluation stage).
- The new setting is disabled for all existing Challenges, but can be turned on for any Challenge if desired.
