Below you'll find a full breakdown of roles and permissions across Rewatch, here's a summarized version to give a sense of what roles exist and what they're generally for:

  • Members: this is the default role for users on your channel. They can access published videos and collections, as well as manage their own videos and meetings.

  • Guests: people with this role operate like members, but they only get access to specific collections that are shared with them — private or public.

  • Collection Contributors: this role is granted when given access to a secret collection. They can see a collection and its sub-collections, as well as add their videos.

  • Collection Editors: this role grants the ability to manage a specific collection — editing, adding sub-collections, managing collection contributors, etc.

  • Channel Admins: a channel-wide role, they can manage any video or collection they have access to, they're also able to manage channel settings and users.

  • Channel Owners: the most permissive role, they have full access to every setting, collection, and video on the channel — including secret collections and private videos that haven't been explicitly shared with them.
