Setting Permissions
Setting Permissions
Permissions determine which actions users and members of user groups can perform on content, library items, and content folders. For example, you allow your Webmaster to perform the most advanced actions, such as adding folders, editing folder properties, and deleting folders. At the same time, you could restrict content contributors to viewing, editing, and adding new content blocks.
You can set permissions for a content folder or a content block. If you assign permission to a content folder, it affects all of its subfolders unless you break inheritance for a subfolder.
Only Ektron CMS400.NET administrators can set permissions.
You manage permissions through the Permission Table (illustrated below). It appears when you click the Permission button ( ) from the folder's or content block's Properties window.
This chapter explains how to manage permissions through the following subtopics.
- Inheritance
- Standard & Advanced Permissions
- Setting Permissions for a Content Folder
