Building a team to help you organize and manage your event is done on the Team page. To invite people to your team, you have to enter their email addresses and assign appropriate roles. You also have the option to invite team members from your other events, which speeds up inviting people you trust the most.

Team roles detailed
Organizer
Organizer is a team role with an identical level of access as Owner, meaning you should assign it only to the people you trust the most. Organizers have unrestricted access to the entire event, and they can do anything: edit the event, sessions, and speakers; manage evaluation plans, API, and embeds; do evaluations; invite other team members; create and announce the schedule; and so on.
Content Owner
Content Owner is a role designed for people who need extensive control over your event’s content without full administrative access. Content Owners can do everything a Content Manager can, plus build the schedule, export data, inform speakers about their session status, send group mailings, and manage the speaker dashboard. They can’t, however, edit event settings, manage the team, configure the app, or access the API / Embed page.
Content Manager
Content Manager is a person which helps you with your event’s content. Content managers can view, edit, and create sessions and speakers, manage evaluation plans, and do evaluations. They can’t, however, build the schedule, send group mailings, inform speakers about their session status, export data, configure the app, access the API / Embed page, or do anything else not directly content-related. If you need someone with broader content responsibilities, consider the Content Owner role instead.
Content Viewer
Content Viewer is someone with an advisory role; a person that's able to view sessions and speakers but has no ability to edit them. Content Viewers can do evaluations too. They have no access to any other part of your event.
Evaluator
Evaluator is a team member that, as the role name implies, does evaluations. They can rate sessions in all three evaluation modes and add internal comments. Evaluators are restricted from accessing any other part of your event.
Starting out with evaluations? Check out this overview: Evaluations: Getting started.
Developer
Developer has access to the API / Embed page of your event. Developers can create endpoints, fully configure your event's embeds and tap into the API, so make sure you assign this team role to people who know what they're doing.
For an in-depth overview of our comprehensive embedding options, please read the following article: Embedding: How it works and what you can use it for. To learn more about our API, refer to the following article: API: Access your data from code.
Changing a team role
Team roles can be edited by anyone with the Owner or Organizer role. Owners and Organizers can revoke access to existing members of the team. This is done by clicking the Edit button above the team list on the Team page.
