Definitions relevant for this tutorial
Some terminology needed to understand this tutorial.
- Permission: the ability to perform a
specific task in a given area of the site (i.e. edit a page, view an unpublished image, create a folder, etc . . .).
- Role: a group of permissions comprise a role. Permissions associated with a role are managed in a fine-grained security system. Roles can be assigned to groups or individual members.
- Local role: a role that is assigned for a specific folder or individual document on the site. This can be used to allow certain users to gain more content management permissions in a limited way. Assigned through the Plone interface (via the "sharing" tab for any piece of content).
- Global role: allows a user to exercise permissions anywhere in the
site. Can be assigned to groups via the Plone "user and group"
management interface.
