Create Spot distinguishes between admins and users (sometimes called “members” or “creators”). Roles determine what you can do in the app and in the dashboard.

​
User (member / creator)

  • Sign in and use the app as a creator or art lover.
  • Profile and portfolio — Edit profile, submit to prompts, organize portfolio, set protections.
  • Browse — View exhibits, prompt galleries, and other creators’ work.
  • No access to admin-only areas: user management, exhibit configuration, prompt creation, or notification manager.

​
Admin

  • Everything a user can do, plus:
  • User management — View users, see stats, assign roles (if supported), delete accounts. See Managing Users and Viewing User Stats, Deleting Users.
  • Exhibits — Create and edit exhibits, set dates, view types, featured submissions, curators and featured artists. See Managing Exhibits.
  • Prompts — Create and update weekly prompts. See Prompts.
  • Notification manager — Configure or send notifications. See Notification Manager.

​
How you get admin access

Admin status is granted by an existing admin or by a system/super-admin. There is no self-service “become admin” option. If you need access, contact a current admin or the team that runs your Create Spot instance.

​
Multiple admins

More than one user can have the admin role. All admins share the same capabilities unless the app supports finer-grained roles (e.g. “exhibit curator” only). Check your instance’s documentation or settings for role options.
