What editorial permissions are there?
Permission | Explanation | Examples |
---|---|---|
No permissions | Objects without permissions are not displayed, either in the left-hand nor in the right-hand part of the window. If a user is to be assigned "no permissions" for a sub-area, this must also be assigned to the "Everyone" group. | A store is to be completely hidden from a user. |
Viewable | This permission defines whether an object is displayed or not by SiteArchitect for a selection or in the navigation. | The user can examine the structure of a store. |
Read | This permission controls access to the content. | The user cannot only see the structure of the Page Store but also the content of pages and sections. |
Change | The user can make changes to objects and to the content of the object and create sections. | For editors who, e.g. are only to be able to edit articles. |
Create / Delete object | The user can create or delete objects, however, not folders. | With this permission the editor can enter new content in the system or remove content. |
Create / Delete folders | The user can add new folders to the stores or remove folders again. Lower-level folders, pages and sections are then also only removed if the user has "Delete" permission for them. Elements (and the folders as parent nodes), for which the user does not have any permissions to delete are retained. | With this permission the editor can affect the structure of the website. |
Release | The user can release changed objects. The release is performed by a workflow. The "Release" permission relates to precisely the transfer of the object into the workflow's status, the "Release Status". Permissions for performing the other steps are controlled separately by assigning permissions for executing workflows. | With this permission the user can release content which is then deployed with the next generation of the project. |
See / Change metadata | The user can view any metadata available for the project or change the content of the metadata. | |
Change permissions | The user can change editorial permissions for groups and users. | Ideally, only the project administrator has this permission. |
The context menus available on the nodes and the menu and toolbar only show the user functions to which they have permissions.
