# Roles and Access

## Roles

There are only two Universe-level roles:

* **Realm Manager** has **web** access to the [Admin Portal](https://platform.morpheusxr.com/web-portal/admin-features).
* **Realm Facilitator** has **in-app** access to a separate [Module Configuration](https://platform.morpheusxr.com/platform-modules/using-modules/module-configuration), set in the Content section of the Universe.

**NB:** Each of these roles has access only to one of two group of features: either ‘web’ for managing Universe or ‘in-app’ for working with more powerfull tools during the experience.

There are also global ‘**admin**’ and ‘**facilitator**’ roles which cover all Universes and used by support personnel.

## Invites and Public Universes

Each Universe can be marked as `public` or `invite-only`.

* **`public`** means that **everyone** can register in this Universe and get the User Profile (which then used for white-listing, see below).
* **`private`** Universe can only create profiles by generating invites in Admin Portal. Invites can be personal (for single use) or guest (for multiple use).

## Place White Lists

Each Place can be marked `free access` or `protected`. This setting governs which User Profiles (hence users with those profiles) are be able to join the experiences in the Place.

* **`free access`** Places are available for all User Profiles in the Universe. Very useful for `invite-only` Universes: once users are invited, they can visit all `free access` places.
* **`protected`** Places require the User Profile to be in the Place's white list. Useful for holding private sessions.
