### What Are Role Type Access Icons?

Role type access icons appear on all Centercode resource administration pages and let administrators toggle team access with a single click, without navigating to the individual resource's modify page.

Each icon represents a single role type, with broader access shown on the left. Clicking an icon toggles between two states: granting all teams of that role type access to the role (filled green) and removing access from all teams of that role type (gray).

**Notes:**

- Access icons appear in a column named after the role they represent — typically the primary "Submit" role for that resource type.
- Role types that are denied access to a role won't appear in that column.

 

### What Are Resource Status Icons?

![](https://t.gyazo.com/teams/centercode/90b45480fe97e5b4002ed8ff71992955.png)

Resource status icons summarize the current state of a resource based on its team access and availability (Pending, Live, Expired, etc.).

- **Live Customer Team Access:** The resource is published and one or more participant teams has access.
- **Live Internal Team Access:** The resource is published and one or more internal (support or admin-level) teams has access, but no participant teams do.
- **Live No Access:** The resource is published but no teams have access.
- **Incomplete Resource:** The resource hasn't been published yet.
- **Expired Customer Access:** The resource is published and one or more participant teams had access, but the availability date has expired.

 

 

### What does the status "Incomplete user access" mean?

It means nobody can reach the resource yet. Two different gaps produce the same status, so check both:

1. **The resource isn't published.** Until you publish it, it stays unavailable no matter who has been granted access.
2. **No teams have been given access.** A published resource with no team access still reaches nobody.

Clearing one gap is not enough on its own. A resource becomes available to your testers only once it is published *and* at least one team has access to it. If the status persists after you publish, open the resource's Team Access settings and confirm a team is actually selected

 

#### How do I set default team access for my resources?

You don't have to set access on each release one at a time. The team you choose in a release type's *Default View* is applied automatically to every new release of that type.

For example, select your Tester team in the *Default View* and each new release in that type grants the Tester team access the moment it's created. To change which teams get access automatically, update the *Default View* on the release type.

 

 

**Notes:**

- Status icons exist for all relevant resource types (content, tasks, etc.).
- A full bulb icon indicates public access — one or more participants or applicants have access.
- A half-full bulb indicates internal access — one or more admins or internal team members have access.
- An empty bulb means no one has access outside the administrative interface.
