Managing Access

Buddies can help decide who has access to different areas of a Supported User’s Stuff.

For example, a Buddy may allow someone to:

• View a Wiki

• Access a Diary

• Help with Goals

• Join chats or shared activities

This helps keep the Supported User’s information private, safe, and personalised.
