Who can do what | Tallybox Guidebook

Each person has one or more roles, and the role decides what they can see and do. Find yours below.

Judges are not on this list: they score with their own scoring link, not the admin panel.

What every role can do

Sign in to the admin panel.
A deactivated account cannot sign in or do anything, whatever its role.
Open the Dashboard. Which widgets show depends on the role.
Turn Dashboard auto-refresh on or off (header button).
Change own password from the user menu (Change password page).
