The Different Roles
A description of what the different roles are and what they mean
- Member: All newly created users are given this role. Members can't create new content, unless given a permission to do so. In addition a Manager could promote Member to Owner or
Reviewer for specified folders (or the whole site). Member permissions can be custom set by site administrators.
- Owner: This role is defined on a per-folder basis. An owner can also create a co-owner and remove a reviewer, but can't assign one. This means: one folder can have more than one owner and they all will have the same rights in that folder. Owners can't assign roles beyond "Authenticated" and "Owner"
- Reviewer: A reviewer can edit/publish content but cannot create new content nor alter local roles.
- Manager: The Manager Security role is a
standard role in Plone. A user with the Manager role has ALL permissions
except the Take Ownership permission. Also commonly known as
Administrator Site Administrator. Can add/modify users, add
keywords, publish/revoke/modify content. Assigns local roles for users and/or promotes them to specific levels.
