CHASE uses a role-based permission system to control what actions users can perform. This page explains how roles work and how they may overlap.

Available Roles​

Chair​

Chairs are responsible for managing committee sessions. They can:

  • Manage the speakers list (add, remove, reorder speakers)
  • Open and close debate
  • Call for votes and manage voting procedures
  • Track attendance
  • Manage session timing

Delegate​

Delegates are conference participants representing countries or organizations. They can:

  • Request to be added to the speakers list
  • Submit motions
  • Vote on procedural and substantive matters
  • View committee documents and resolutions

Admin​

Administrators manage the overall conference setup. They can:

  • Create and configure committees
  • Assign chairs and delegates to committees
  • Manage user accounts
  • Access all committee sessions
  • View conference-wide statistics

Role Intersections​

In many conferences, users will have multiple roles:

Common Scenarios
  • Secretariat members often have Admin access while also serving as backup chairs
  • Head Delegates may have additional permissions within their delegation
  • Chairs might have delegate access to other committees they're participating in

How Permissions Work​

When a user has multiple roles:

  1. The system grants the union of all permissions from assigned roles
  2. Users can switch between committee views based on their assignments
  3. Admin users can access any committee regardless of specific assignments

Checking Your Role​

You can see your current role and permissions by:

  1. Clicking on your profile icon in the top-right corner
  2. Viewing the "My Roles" section
  3. Switching between committee views if you have multiple assignments

Need Different Access?​

If you believe you need additional permissions:

  1. Contact your conference's IT team or Secretariat
  2. Explain what access you need and why
  3. An Admin can adjust your role assignments
