Account Admins
Available on:
All subscriptions. Roles visible will depend on products enabled on your account.
Platform roles give organisations flexibility in managing Culture Amp, allowing admins to delegate administrative tasks to other users. Before getting started, ensure the user has already been added as a user in Culture Amp.

For the Survey creator role, you can restrict access to specific organizational parts using demographic filters.
Assign demographic filters (if applicable)
Select both a demographic and a value (e.g., Country: Australia). This restricts the Survey creator to only manage surveys for employees in Australia.
Multiple values: If you select multiple values from a single demographic (OR condition), the Survey creator can add participants with any of those values.
Multiple demographics: If you select multiple demographics (AND condition), the Survey creator can only add participants that match values from both groups.
