Creating Groups

In Content Delivery a user with Manage app permission can grant permission to the groups, and then assign users to the group to control which permissions users have. You do not grant permissions to an individual user.

About this task

To simplify the post-install configuration, Content Delivery provides a set of predefined groups, which represent the permissions required for the basic personas. The Content Delivery administrator can add new groups and customize the existing ones.
  • anonymous (used for non-SSO users)
  • dba
  • Visitors (used for SSO users)
  • Consumers
  • Contributors
  • Tech Docs
  • Contribution Managers
  • Publication Managers
  • Developers
