  • Create, manage, and finalize assessments
  • Review and score assessments
  • Access all reports and analytics
  • Manage workspace settings, billing, and members
  • Configure AI features and data privacy settings
  • View the activity log

Auditor

  • Create and manage assessments
  • Assign respondents to assessments
