Role Management


Prerequisites: Users require site administrator permissions to access this area.

Permissions determine the actions users can perform in a Cartella site. For example, one user might have permission to create content, while another user might have permission to both create and approve content.

Permissions are contained within roles, which are assigned to users and groups. In the Role Management view, administrators create and delete roles and edit the permissions associated with existing roles.

Built-In Cartella Roles

The table displays roles with least to most permissions. If a topic lists a prerequisite with a role followed by a plus (+) (e.g., Users require contributor+ permissions), the user requires the stated role or a higher-ranking role to complete the task or access the site area. Cartella has four built-in roles that cannot be deleted or edited:
