No, that's not the start of some weird joke. These are the four types of user roles in Showcase Workshop:

  • Admins (all-powerful users; can do anything except get a free puppy from Showcase)
  • Editors (can edit presentations and access the File Library)*
  • Managers (can manage Editor, Manager, and Viewer users but not presentations or Admin users)
  • Viewers (this is the default user type when you add a user to your workshop)
  • Reporters (can view all presentations, and reports such as analytics, sharing history, forms, and activity)

Here's a run-down of what each user can and cannot do:
