Permissions System

Managing access to your awards program shouldn't require IT expertise or hours of setup. Awardist's permissions system makes it easy to grant exactly the right level of access to each team member, judge, or Shortlister.

Whether someone needs full administrative access, should only be able to review specific categories, or just needs read-only access to certain nominations, you can configure their permissions in seconds with our intuitive interface.

We've built in three primary roles that cover the vast majority of use cases: Admins who can manage everything, Judges who can evaluate nominations, and Shortlisters who can review early-stage submissions.

Each role comes with appropriate default permissions, but you can customise them further. Need someone to have judge-level access but only for specific categories? Done.

Know exactly who has access to what with our comprehensive permissions audit feature. See at a glance which users have what permissions and track changes over time, and see who's been looking at what.

This is especially valuable for programs that need to demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations or internal security policies. When staff members change roles or leave your organisation, you can quickly adjust or remove their permissions to maintain security.
