To create a role:
  1. Log in to Cartella.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Roles.
  3. Click Create New Role.

  4. Enter a name for the role in the Name field.
  5. Select or clear the following permissions in the Assign Permissions section:

    • Add, delete, or edit any item in the folio, sub-folio, or module.

    Can Moderate

    • Edit or delete module items whether or not they created the content.
    • Approve or reject items created by users with the lowest permission level, Can Create Item.

    Can Create Approved ItemUsers assigned this role can:
    • Create items without the approval of an administrator or moderator.
    Can Create ItemUsers assigned this role can:

    Important
    These items don't display publicly unless the site administrator or a user with moderator-level (e.g., Can Moderate or Is Folio Admin) permission approves the content.
    Important
    Roles associate with specific areas of Cartella (e.g., specific folios, sub-folios, and modules). Users and groups assigned to roles only have permissions in the specific area associated with the role.
    Note
    If all permissions are cleared, the user assigned to the role can only post comments on site content.
  6. Click Submit.
    Cartella creates the role.
