USER PRIVILEGES

Section Based Privileges

VIEW View If user login is required for a section then giving a user the view privilege, allows them to access this section after entering their username and password. If user login is not required then this privilege shows a white person icon with a question mark. This means that the section is open to any visitor without having to enter a username and password. CONTENT Edit This privilege allows users to add and edit the following types of content: Text Image Table Horizontal Line Multimedia Search Panel Sitemap Advanced This privilege gives users the ability to add and edit two types of content that standard editors cannot: Login panels HTML It also allows them to define text styles. Protected Any item of content on a page can be “locked” and so protected from further change. Only users with this privilege can lock, unlock and edit protected content. Page This privilege allows users to edit the page properties. When on a page, users with this privilege can access page properties by selecting that option from the 'Komodo' menu. Users with this privilege can also access page properties from the sitemap by clicking on a page name. In either case this brings up the 'page editor'. PUBLISHING Upload/Discard Somewhat self explanatory this is the privilege that allows a user to use the options in the “Publish” menu: Upload site changes Discard site change Upload page changes Discard page changes STRUCTURE Sitemap Users with this privilege will be able to change the sitemap by cutting, copying or pasting pages. Section This privilege gives users the ability to edit section properties by selecting the 'sections' option from the 'Komodo' menu. This brings up the 'section editor'. ASSIGN Privileges This privilege allows a user to pass on (assign) their privileges to other users (if they have that privilege - see below) Roles This privilege allows a user to assign roles to other users within the workflow for a section (see next item below) WORKFLOW Roles If a mandatory workflow has been created for a section then each part of that workflow is handled by a particular role (e.g. “editors”, “publishers”). If a user has the “roles” privilege they can assign roles to other users within the workflow for a section. This is done via a drop-down menu that appears in the roles column that shows a list of all the roles available for the workflow.
