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.
