JustPrint supports different user roles so people can use the platform in the way that fits them best. Your role affects what features you can access and what kind of work you can do on the platform.
Main roles on JustPrint
Customer
A Customer is the default role for most users.
As a Customer, you can:

Explore Makers and Designers
-
Request a 3D print
-
Request a custom design
-
Buy products from the shop

If you only want to browse, buy, or submit requests, the Customer role is usually all you need.

Can one person have more than one role?
Yes. A user may have access to more than one role depending on account setup and approvals.
For example, someone might use JustPrint as:
-
A Customer who also sells as a Maker
-
A Customer who also works as a Designer
-
A user with both Maker and Designer capabilities
Switching between roles
If your account has access to multiple roles, you will be able to switch between them in the app from the top right corner. This helps you move between different dashboards and workflows without creating separate accounts.
Why roles matter
Roles help JustPrint show you the tools and pages that are most relevant to you. For example:
-
Customers focus on browsing, requesting, buying, and tracking
-
Makers focus on printers, quotes, jobs, and orders
-
Designers focus on models, requests, and design delivery
If you do not see a role you expected
If you signed up but do not see Maker or Designer features yet, it may mean:
-
Your account is still using the Customer role only
-
Your Maker or Designer request is still pending
-
Your access has not been approved yet
-
You need to sign in again after approval
