Assign Roles to Attendees in the Networking Center

Segment your Networking Center by interest, job roles, niche groups and more with our roles.

Segment your Networking Center by interest, job roles, niche groups and more with our roles! You can limit the visibility and permissions of attendees with certain roles in the Networking Center, giving them more control over their privacy and movement at your event. 

To create roles, start by creating custom registration fields on your event’s registration form. Registrants’ roles will be based on the answers they provide in that field. 

Say that you want to assign attendees to different roles based on their job title: You’d create a custom registration field that can be “Job Roles” with options of “Administrative, Marketing, Business.” Then select the visibility and permissions available to attendees of each role type while they’re in the Networking Center (e.g., decide which roles they are visible to, as well as which roles they can connect with). So if you want attendees with a marketing role to see only those that share their role, you’d select “Marketing” so people in that role only see other attendees sharing that role. 

In your Networking Center, an attendee’s role-specific visibility and permissions apply only to their activity in the My Network, People and Lounge- My People tab. So if someone was assigned a Marketing role, and they’re only allowed to see other attendees with Marketing roles, they’ll only be able to see and connect with attendees sharing their Marketing role when they’re in those tabs.
