Local roles — Content management

Local roles have the same permissions as their namesake global roles but are restricted to a section and any related sections.

 

• Section manager
• Section moderator
• Section publisher
• Section editor
• Section author
• Section content reviewer

 

With local roles, distribute power to users based on their responsibilities and expertise. You will need to assign the correct roles to people in your section so they can help you write, edit, review and manage content.

 

A user can be assigned multiple roles but this should be limited to what is required for them to do their job. It will also make it easier for you to track what they can and can’t do.

 

Section managers: Make any changes to content or content types within a section, this includes widgets and layouts. Add and remove permissions for a specific area. 

 

Publishers: Create, change or edit any content in a section. This includes content types that have been created or edited by other users. Move content types between stages of the workflow, e.g. draft, needs review, reviewed and published.

 

Editors: Review content types to make sure it is well written, mistake free and accurate. View content within a section only. Edit content and change workflow to ‘Reviewed’. Unable to publish.

 

Authors: Create content types to be reviewed. Edit or delete own content, however unable to review or publish content types. Useful if you have lots of contributors but you want to control quality of work before it is live.

 

The following rules apply to section editors, publishers and content reviewers who all receive email notifications in the Workflow process. 

 

• When content changes from ‘Draft’ to ‘Needs review’ the Section editor receives a notification email.
• When content changes from ‘Needs review’ to ‘Reviewed’ the Section publisher receives a notification email.
• When content changes back to ‘Draft’ the Section author of the content receives a notification email.
