Basic Member Capabilities

Each Clinked group has 3 member types to use depending on our planned use of Clinked:

• Group Administrator (“Group Admin”)
• Standard Member (“Can Contribute”)
• Basic Member (“Basic Access Only”)

This article will explain the capabilities of a Basic Member at the Group level.
