      Roles on the platform

      Administrative roles

        • Change the name displayed on the platform, as well as in emails and notifications
        • View platform usage Statistics 
        • Get notifications:

          2. When a new member invitation is created, requesting them to join the platform 
          3. When a member accepts an invitation to join the platform 
        • Modify the Invitation Email you send members to join the platform
        • Modify the Welcome email members receive when they register their account

        Please note that Network Admins cannot view documents, groups, events or other content on the platform unless they have been given express access by the creator. Network admin access does not override the rules of permissions.
