# Roles & Permissions

## Roles & Permissions

Within a relationship, the Contributor and their Beneficiary perform a particular Role. The *relationship* is defined by the roles each performs, and therefore the level of access the Contributor gains to the Beneficiary's content. There are four different relationships that exist in Cloud Journals and they are the following:

### Peer <a href="#peer" id="peer"></a>

By inviting a user to contribute as a Peer, the Beneficiary is giving the Contributor access to view their self-appraisals, reflections and evidence. The Contributor can provide feedback to parts of their specified [Journal](/the-core/journals.md), [Learning Log](/the-core/learning-log.md) or [Plan](/the-core/plan.md), if they have given them [permission](/collaborating/overview/roles-and-permissions.md).

### Coach <a href="#coach" id="coach"></a>

View only your Beneficiary's [Plan](/the-core/plan.md) and provide feedback.

### Supervisor <a href="#supervisor" id="supervisor"></a>

View your Beneficiary's journal and provide feedback and appraisals within levels set for *Supervisors* within that [Journal Template](/admin-console/template-editor/template-design.md#what-are-templates), [Learning Log](/the-core/learning-log.md) or [Plan](/the-core/plan.md), according to the [permissions](/collaborating/overview/roles-and-permissions.md) they have given you.

### Assessor <a href="#assessor" id="assessor"></a>

View and provide feedback and appraisals to levels allowed by industry or organisation certifiers and as applied within the Template for the specific Journal that you have been invited to access. Assessors also get access to the [Learning Log](/the-core/learning-log.md).
