# Setting Permissions for Participants and Instructors

Want to control what instructors see in their panel, or what participants can change in their own accounts? In the *Users* tab you can customise access for each role in the system — instructors, participants, and receptionists.

## How to access permissions settings

Go to *Settings* → *Users*.

## Instructors permissions

To configure which information an instructor can see in their panel, click *Edit*.

To control which actions an instructor can perform in their account, toggle the available options on.
