Roles and Permissions

Your Publisher Administrator grants users access to the system and assigns user roles. Each role has its own set of permissions.

A user can be assigned different roles in different Publisher folders. For example, you might be assigned the Producer role in one folder and a Submitter in another. Folders to which you do not have access do not display in Publisher Explorer.

The following table describes all Publisher roles:

Role	Permissions
No Access	None.
Reader	Can view content items.
Submitter	Can create, preview, edit, save, delete, and search for content items.
Contributor	Same permissions as Submitter, but can also view content item notes, workflow, version history, publishing information, and publishing schedule.
Editor	Same permissions as Contributor, but can also publish items to Publisher or to the portal Knowledge Directory.
Producer	Same permissions as Editor, but can also create and edit folders, data entry templates, selection lists, and presentation templates; preview and publish content items individually and by folder; edit content items assigned to others; and configure sections to publish and preview.
Folder Administrator	Same permissions as Producer, but can also undo other users' check outs, override workflow, manage Publisher portlets, and set or change workflow properties and content security on folders.
Administrator	Same permissions as Folder Administrator, but can also access Workflow Administration to set up and delete workflow activities in workflow, as well as create, edit, copy, and delete folders.

Note: There can be as many Folder Administrators, Producers, Editors, Contributors, and Submitters as needed, but there can be only one Administrator.
