The following are the six different roles that a member can have on a Card, Each role has all of the permissions of the lower roles below:
Author 🌟
The original 'star', or creator of a card. This cannot be changed.
- Always retain the card even if it is Cut from a parent (i.e. all of an author's cards are automatically 'Kept').
- Assign all user roles, and promote/demote moderators
- Cannot be demoted
- Delete for Everyone

You will notice that 'Viewing the Share code' is omitted from this list of permissions. This is because it depends on what the default role of a card is. If a member of a card has a role lower than the default role, they are unable to view the Share Code. If an Author/Moderator demotes a member to lower than the default role, the share code is automatically reset - to prevent the demoted user from rejoining at a higher role.
