Cvent Survey

In Cvent's survey application, survey account administrators can create different user roles with different permissions, controlling what particular people can view and access in the account. Administrators can add, view, edit and delete users, user groups and user roles. This feature is particularly helpful, if you have multiple surveys running at the same time with different people in charge of the creating and writing the surveys. For example, the administrator may want to restrict people in the marketing department from accessing HR surveys to maintain employee privacy or perhaps marketing finance shouldn't be able to see marketing surveys.

Users: Users are the individuals using the Cvent Web Surveys tool. A user can have only one user role and be a member of none or multiple user groups. The users are going to be the survey creators, designers and writers.

User Groups: User groups are used to set visibility for users. Based on their user group, users will be able to see different information within the survey software. You have several options to choose when setting up user groups:


User Role: In user roles, administrators can add, view, edit, copy and delete user roles from an account. Each type of permission may have a variety of specific permissions. For example, there are permissions to be able to edit a survey or launch a survey. The reason this is important is it helps ensure workflow. If the survey writer isn't allowed to launch the survey because only the department head has the power, by setting user roles you ensure those organization rules are enforced. Specific permissions may have no access, full access or read only access.
