User privileges

Privileges determine whether certain functionality is available for a group of users, namely, those users with a specific user role.

Lists of values

The list of values with ID DPRIVILEGE defines the list of available Privileges. The following table describes the the Privileges that are available out of the box in Tridion Docs:

Granting user privileges

To give a user the any of the listed privileges, both of the following steps much be done:

  • The privilege must be added to the appropriate user role.
  • The role must be added to the user.

Restrictions

Out of the box, Privileges are not set for any role with one exception: Administrator, which has the "System Administrator" Privilege.

The Privileges list of values cannot be edited in the Tridion Docs user interface or through an external client to ISHRemote. This restriction ensures systemic and cohesive solutions in user management.
