Updated 3 months ago by Julia Carnes

If you have an individual Padlet account, there's only one user: You!

If you are part of a Team or School account, you will be assigned a specific user role.

Read on to learn more about the different Padlet user roles.

Team

Teams have four roles: Owner, Admin, Maker and Contributor. You must purchase a license for each Owner, Admin and Maker. Contributors are included for free. Here's a breakdown of each role.

Role badges

When members are added to the Classroom account, they are assigned one of the roles above. To display Role badges next to posts and comments, click on the Settings cog icon (⚙️) on the right-hand side of your padlet >> next to 'Author and timestamp,' click Show.

Padlet for Schools

Padlet for Schools is our plan for schools. It includes four roles: Owner, Admin, Teacher and Student. Go to our subscriptions page and request a quote or demo to learn more! In the meantime, here's a breakdown of each role.

The Student column refers to licensed students in your Padlet for Schools account. (Licensed = signs in to a Padlet account)

If your students do not have a license (they do not login to a Padlet account), they can still view and post on Padlet for Schools' padlets, but their posts will be anonymous. They also will not be able to create their own padlets.
