Managing admin roles in Zoom Whiteboard


When a whiteboard is shared with other users, the owner determines which roles are assigned to those users. Although the whiteboard owner can change an assigned role later, the permissions available to the role itself cannot be edited. Account owners can review a detailed list of what each role's permissions are, and use role management to define a custom scope for whiteboard access and permissions.
