Roles & Permissions
AmityClient class provides a method hasPermission(_:) which allows you to check if the current logged in user has permission to do stuffs in given channel.
We determine a user's moderation capabilities based on their current role. Amity SDK has the following default roles:
1.Member - has no moderation privileges
2.Community/Channel Moderator - can assert general moderation privileges on other users
3.Super Moderator - can assert general moderation privileges and be exempt from moderation from other users
4.Global Admin (Admin Only) - can assign the roles of others, assert all moderation privileges and be exempt from moderation
A user's role can be changed via Console. Refer to Moderation, Roles & Privileges for the instructions on how to change a user's role. 
The Global Admin role cannot be assigned to a user.
Below are tables for each category that show the default roles and permissions.  You can create new roles and assign a specific set of permissions for each role in the ASC Console. Refer to Moderation, Roles & Privileges.
