Users and groups
Permissions to objects in the repository is based on user groups and roles, and the relationship between them and the objects in the repository.
Create user groups and roles, then create users and assign the users to the groups and roles.
- The group assignment provides the permissions to the folders and data in the repository. If the user belongs to the same group as the folder, then the user has read-write access to everything in the folder. This also decides which content can be seen by a user on the Tridion Docs delivery platforms (this functionality is available with ISHSTS only).
- If the user belongs to a different group than the folder belongs, the user only has access if the folder has specific permissions assigned to the user's group.
- The user's role exposes the user as a potential recipient in the workflow for an object when its status is changed.
