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  • Permission: the ability to perform a specific task in a given area of the site (i.e. edit a page, view an unpublished image, create a folder, etc .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.
