Immersive One platform offers distinct Creator and Manager roles for content management, so you can give users the access they need without granting full admin rights.
The difference between creators and managers
To give organizations greater security and least-privilege access control, the platform offers distinct roles for content management: Creators and Managers.
This structure means users can build content without needing full admin rights, while Managers retain oversight to maintain the organization's content library.
The primary difference between these roles lies in whose content they can edit and delete.
Creator Roles (Least Privilege)
These roles are designed for authorship. A Creator can create new content – such as scenarios, labs, or exercises – but can only edit, publish, or delete content that they personally created. They can't modify content created by other users.
Manager Roles (High Privilege)
These roles are designed for oversight. A Manager has all the capabilities of a Creator, but they can also view, edit, delete, and publish content created by anyone in the organization. This lets Managers assist with drafts, audit content, or manage items if the original author leaves the organization.
Role examples by content type
The following table outlines the specific Creator and Manager roles available for different content types on the platform.
Content type | Creator role | Manager role |
| Custom Labs, Collection & Career Paths | Lab Creator – Creates custom labs, collections, and career paths. Can only edit/delete items they authored. | Lab Manager – Can view, edit, and delete all custom labs, collections, and career paths across the organization. |
| Crisis Sim Scenarios | Crisis Sim Scenario Creator – Creates, edits, and publishes their own scenarios only. | Crisis Sim Manager – Can create, manage, and assign exercises and view reports for the organization. |
| Workforce Scenarios | Workforce Scenario Creator – Creates and publishes their own scenarios only. | Workforce Manager – Can create, manage, and assign workforce exercises, and create custom content for the organization. |
| Cyber Ranges | Cyber Ranges Creator – Has access to manage specific Cyber Ranges. | Cyber Ranges Manager – Can create, manage, and view all Cyber Ranges. |
When to assign a Manager role
Limit Manager roles to a small number of users who need to oversee or clean up content others have created. The Creator role is recommended for most users to reduce the risk of accidental edits or deletions of each other's work.
