The type of function that users can perform in Novi Survey depend on their level of access to the system.

Users with a login to the system and no additional privilege can access the Portal and the User profile pages.

Users who are a member of at least one organization can view the data in the organization at the level of lists (see all list pages, e.g., Survey list, Folder list,...). Users in organizations can be granted the following roles:

• Survey creator: allows users to create surveys as well as templates, folders, lists of persons in address books, and libraries
• Bulk data entry: allows users to enter data in surveys on behalf of the actual respondent.
• Delete responses: allows users to delete response data from surveys that they own
• Caller of web services: allows users to call the web services API for the system. The role is useful when writing integration software that needs to access Novi Survey through the web services API.
• Scripting: allows users to write scripts and to define derived scores. Only a system administrator can grant this role.
• Restrict to portal: restricts users to the portal only. The users will not see only the screens for the portal and for modifying their profile.
• Organization administrator: allows users to perform any task within an organization, including managing the users in the organization.

Independently of organization specific roles, a user can be a system administrator. A system administrator can perform any task without restriction in the system.
