A user can have different permissions in different communities. Right now, I only see two roles — Member and Moderator. But I need more flexibility, like having specific roles within a community such as Feed Moderator, User Moderator, or Settings Moderator. Is that possible somehow?

Hello @Pragyan_Deep_Gogoi For roles within a community, only two predefined roles are available. However, on the permissions/actions side, you can create custom roles, configure their permissions, and assign them as needed.

Go to the “Roles & Permissions” tab, click “Create New Role”, and select the permissions from the list below based on the role’s requirements.:

Then assign the role to that particular user:

If the specific ability you’d like to grant isn’t available, you can handle it through frontend customisation — for example, by detecting the user’s role (e.g., _ **“User Moderator”** _) and conditionally hiding or restricting certain UI options for that role.

But those roles will be applied globally (to all community) to that user and will not be specific to a community right?

Hello @Pragyan_Deep_Gogoi, that’s correct — it’s a global role, so users with this role will have those permissions in all the communities they’re part of.
