Access & Roles
Access & Roles
Access to features is controlled by policies assigned to your Admin Dashboard user account. Each policy grants access to one or more sections of the platform. Your account may have multiple policies.
If you navigate to a page you do not have a policy for, you will see a "Not authorised" message and be redirected away.
Available policies
| Policy | What it unlocks |
|---|---|
| Dashboard - Access | Core login and dashboard access. Required for everyone. |
| Schedule - Read | View the program planner and schedule |
| Schedule - Editor | Edit the program planner — add sessions, breaks, move items |
| Abstracts - Reviewer | Review abstract submissions and submit scores |
| Abstracts - Admin | View all submissions, reviewer scores, and manage status |
| Abstracts - Metrics | View submission statistics and totals |

Key Dates requires only general admin access — there's no dedicated policy for it. Privileges has no access restriction of its own in the app beyond being reachable in the navigation.
Requesting access
Contact your system administrator to have a policy added to your account. Policies are managed inside the Admin Dashboard under Settings → Access Control.
Your profile
You can view your profile at any time from the navigation. The profile page links your Admin Dashboard login to a Person record in the congress database, which gives you your committee positions and session assignments.
If your profile is not linked, use the "Link Profile" button and search for your name to connect your account.
