Introduction
Every single day, more and more contributors join our Discord server, and we try to keep things organized by adding roles/labels to members’ accounts.
We prepared this document to provide transparency on the roles/labels that are assigned to people who join the TEC Discord. Different roles have different levels of permissions in the TEC Discord and they are described below starting from the Admin (which has all the Discord permissions) to the New Member (which has a very limited amount of permissions).
If you have further clarifications about these Discord roles/labels, you may reply to this post or send us a message in the Transparency Channel.
Admin
Admins are people who are entrusted to manage the server because of their reputation and reliability as trusted members of the community. This role has all Discord permissions.
To acquire this role, one must be able and asked to work on our Discord channel’s infrastructure.

Admin
Members with this permission have all the permissions and can also ignore restrictions
Gravitons
Gravitons are onboarded during the Graviton Training. The last training had 8 sessions that introduced concepts like Non Violent Communication, Spiral Dynamics and Ostrom’s 8 principles for Governing the Commons. Every attendee received a POAP (NFT participation badges) at the end of each session and the ones who collected a minimum of 4 POAPs were invited to become a Graviton!

Stewards
Community Stewards are the ones in the know of what is happening in the TEC. Onboarding happens when one steward nominates a community member to become a steward and has the approval of at least 2 other stewards and no blocks during a week. If a block happens, the nomination is suspended and Gravity will mediate a dialogue to solve the issue and either continue with the nomination or drop it.

Subject Matter Experts
Subject Matter Experts can be onboarded directly to the area they wish to contribute with. E.g. lawyers might go straight to the Legal WG and cadCAD researchers to the TEC Lab. Without a general involvement but still providing impactful contributions. SME should be in our Discord server and have access to the forum and TE calendar.

Contributors
A contributor is active once they join the TEC Discord Server, and are aware of the Forum and TE calendar of events. The AMA weekly call is the best place to ask questions and enjoy the focused attention of long time contributors. The incubator chat is made for new members to share and ask anything related to their engagement in the TEC 
To get this role, the member can request it from any Steward.
