Understand FirstVoices user groups
The language entries your team collects and uploads make up your language site. Entries can be either Team Only, Members Only, or Public, depending on which settings you choose.
Anyone who visits your site is part of a different user group. The user group determines which of your language entries they can see.
Language team users
Language teams include the individuals who are part of your FirstVoices project. There are three roles within a language team: Assistants, Editors, and Language Administrators.
All users with these roles can view ‘Team Only’ content.

Other user groups
Other users include individuals who are visiting FirstVoices primarily to view the language content. There are three types of other users:
Public Users: visitors to FirstVoices without a login
General Members: have a login for FirstVoices in general, but not to any language site
Community Members: have requested membership to a specific language community site, are approved by the Language Admin as part of the language community, can see ‘Members Only’ content on that site
These user groups are not part of the language team and do not have access to the Dashboard.
If you are logged in as a site member or language team user, private ‘Team Only’ and ‘Members Only’ entries are marked with a reduced set of actions and a special visibility marker in the menu to indicate that the entry is not public.
