Add/Edit Users and their Roles

Roles

There are three roles for users for your UNLcms site. Each role has different permissions on the site, allowing them to access different parts of the site administration, and manage content.

• Site Admin: has the highest level of access; can add/edit/delete all content, as well as manage things like menus, and user accounts.
• Content Admin: can add/edit/delete all content, but not able to manage user accounts nor site configuration.

For use with Workbench Moderation:

• Content Editor: can add/edit content with review by Content Admin/Site Admin.

For use with Organic Groups:

• Contributor: can contribute new content, and edit their own content for groups they are assigned to.
