User roles

An exchange user can be assigned one or more roles that determine access permissions granted to the user and commission settings applied to the user’s trading account.

Roles assigned to exchange users

The following roles can be assigned to general exchange users:

  • Vip — assigned to valuable exchange users to which individualized commissions apply

  • User — when assigned to users, they can no longer place orders on the exchange and are only allowed to make transfers (this status is reserved for users that were banned from the exchange for various reasons: by assigning such users this role, you no longer allow them to trade while letting them withdraw their funds and leave the venue)

  • Demo — when assigned to users, they can no longer place orders and make transfers (this is a legacy status reserved for the users that wish to try out a demo service)

  • Trader — when assigned to users, they are allowed to perform general exchange operations, such as placing new orders or making transfers

  • Market-Maker — when assigned to users, no commissions are charged for trades executed by them

  • NoCommission — when assigned to users, no commissions are charged for any of their operations on the exchange

  • Hedging — when assigned to users, transactions made by them are ignored upon calculating the Total Asset Amount, Total Commission, Total Volume and Total PnL across the exchange; this role does not assume any restriction to users

Roles assigned to exchange administrators

The following roles can be assigned to users that should be granted access to the Admin Panel:

  • Admin — users with this role are permitted to change the status of other user user profiles, update the market status, assign user roles, specify commissions charged for trades and withdrawal transfers, as well as set new passwords for exchange users

  • Support — users with this role are permitted to change the status of other user profiles and cancel (roll back) trades

  • Bot — a technical role assigned to non-human accounts, such as those created for trading bots
