Content Manager Users and Groups
In the Administration > User Management area of Content Manager Explorer, users with Administration privileges can manage Users and User Groups. Then you grant them access to the items and actions they need to perform by setting rights and permissions.
- Managing Content Manager users
Content Manager users with Administration privileges can view and manage other Content Manager users. - Managing Content Manager user groups
User groups are general categories of users, such as Author, Editor, and Template Designer. You can use groups to categorize users who perform the same tasks and who require the same access and rights to content. - Rights, Permissions and Privileges for Users and Groups
Rights define the types of tasks that Users or User Groups can perform for a specific Publication. Permissions are settings placed on Folders, Structure Groups and Categories that define the actions Users or User Groups can perform on items for which they have the necessary Rights. Separately from this, Privileges can be given to Groups to perform certain tasks system-wide. - Setting User and Group permissions for an organizational item
Permissions determine what actions users and groups can perform on the contents of a Folder, Structure Group or Category for those Content Manager items for which they have the necessary rights. In a BluePrint Parent Publication, permissions are shared to Child Publications. - Granting users permission to load items while hiding the organizational item for those items
In certain scenarios, you want to grant users the ability to load (that is, read) certain content items, but deny them the ability to see those content items in their organizational items. This task describe a best-practice approach to accomplishing this goal. - Setting User and Group rights for a Publication
You can assign rights to an individual Users or to User Groups to define the types of tasks that they can perform for a specific Publication. It is recommended to add Users to Groups and assign collective rights and permissions to these Groups. - Setting User and Group rights and permissions for publishing
To publish items, a User or User Group needs permissions to publish to one or more Target Types (configured in a Business Process Type) and have Publish to Content Distributor rights for the Publication. For example, the User Group Author may have permission to publish to the Target Type Staging (the staging server) while the User Group Editor has permission to publish to Staging and Live (production server).
