In Citizen Space, a User refers to your internal staff who are involved in the consultation. There are four types of Citizen Space users: Site Admin, Department Admin, Individual Admin and Analyst. The table below shows the different permissions these users have.

Any administrator who can add a response manually to a consultation can remove a response. This includes people who are analysts assigned to the consultation, as this allows them to clear up any mistakes they may make without having to escalate the request to a supervisor. All removals are logged, and any responses that are removed in error, or by accident, can be put back again. Please read more about how to do this here.
* It is possible for publishing and retracting of consultations to be restricted to just site admins, or site and department admins only, upon request. However, the default Citizen Space setting will be for everyone to be able to publish their own consultations (as described in the table above).
