# Admin View vs Public View

## **What's the difference?**&#x20;

Horse Spot has four distinct views, depending on who's logging in and what they need to do. Here's how each one works.

### Producer Admin View

Horse show, fair, and rodeo producers get their own admin view. This is where you manage everything on the backend: setting up shows, managing your tenant profile, adding staff, tracking payments, calculating series points, and more. If you're running the event, this is your control center.

### Organization Admin View

Organizations, such as breed associations, membership groups, or governing bodies, get their own admin view as well. While each event is managed under their main tenant, Horse Spot will automatically gather sanctioned events to display under the organization.&#x20;

Organizations also have roles and permission settings available to them, so you can control who on your team has access to what.&#x20;

### Exhibitor Internal View

Exhibitors, parents, and trainers who sign up for a user account get their own backend admin view too, scaled to what they need. Instead of managing a whole show, this view lets them manage their own entries: signing up for classes, keeping their information up to date, and tracking their own show activity.

### Public View

The public view is open to everyone, no account required. Spectators, fans, parents, and family members can browse local events by location or name.&#x20;

They can also check schedules, which is especially handy for parents juggling multiple kids' weekend activities, and follow live results in real time. So even if Grandma is a few states away, she can still keep up with how the family did. All of this information is free and open to the public: there's no fee and no gated entry.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.horsespot.com/general-management-tools/getting-started/admin-view-vs-public-view.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
