Space, Portal, and Kit-Level Access

Understanding access at each level of your content hierarchy.

Lingo provides access controls at three levels, giving you flexibility in how you share content with different audiences.

Space-level access

Space access is determined by your role:

  • Owners and Admins - Full access to everything

  • Content Managers - Full content access, limited settings access

  • Members - Access only to assigned Portals

Space-level access is the broadest—it affects what you can see and do across the entire Space.

Portal-level access

Portals control who can see groups of Kits:

For Members:

  • Must be explicitly added to each Portal

  • Can only see Portals they're members of

  • See all Kits within those Portals

For Admins and Content Managers:

  • Automatically have access to all Portals

  • No need to be explicitly added

For public visitors:

  • Can access public Portals via shared link

  • May need a password if one is set

Kit-level access

Kits provide the most granular control:

Viewing

  • Determined by Portal membership and Kit privacy settings

  • Public Kits can be viewed by anyone with the link

Editing

  • Members need explicit edit access per Kit

  • Admins and Content Managers can edit all Kits

  • Edit access makes a Member an "Editor" for billing

Combining access levels

Access levels work together:

  1. Your Space role sets what's possible

  2. Portal membership determines what you see

  3. Kit permissions determine what you can edit
