Users can have one of these three Help Center level roles:
Admin
Editor
Member
Admins can manage every aspect of the Help Center, including inviting new people to this Help Center specifically, but can't manage anything at the account level.

Editors can manage content and view analytics, but can't invite anyone.

A member is only useful if your Help Center is private. A member will be able to login and access the Help Center, but won't be able to access the administrative portion and won't be able to manage content.


Can this person view secret topics?

Timelapse allows you to create secret topics. These topics can only be seen by admin users or by users who have been specifically granted the permission. Turn the switch on to allow the user to access secret topics.
