Set Collections Access Levels and Roles

Destiny Administrators and site administrators can set Destiny access levels and Collections roles. Assigning appropriate access levels ensures users have access to the features they need in Destiny.

Roles determine what actions users can perform in Collections, such as the visibility options they can choose for displaying their collection. Collections roles are assigned to a Destiny access level.

The following table matches the Destiny default access level to the Collections role:

Destiny access level	Collections role	Default digital setup role	ON/OFF
