Role permissions

Assign a role to the user

Controller

The controller is first assigned during the process of space creation. By default it is the ENS domain controller. To learn more about this step, head to Create a space.

There can be only one controller per space and can be updated only by the current controller.

In order to update the controller role head to the space settings on CyberSpace. Click the Change Controller button on the right-hand side:

Paste the address of the account you want to set as space controller in the pop-up window and click Set. It will trigger your wallet browser extension and ask you to sign a transaction with a gas fee.

Admins and authors

In order to update the admins and authors lists head to the space settings on CyberSpace. Scroll down to the Admins and Authors fields.

You can add up to 100 addresses in each field. Make sure each address is written in a separate line as suggested in the example below.

Do not list all addresses in one line separated by a delimiter like a comma, semicolon or a dot.
