Editing Roles


Prerequisites: Users require site administrator permissions to complete this task.

Edit the name and associated permissions of roles. In other areas of Cartella, users and groups can inherit or be assigned to roles for specific folios, sub-folios, and modules. Users and groups assigned to this role have access to the associated permissions.
Note
You cannot edit built-in Cartella roles (e.g., Contributor, Folio Admin, Moderator, Sr Contributor).
Important
If you select or clear the associated permissions, your saved changes apply to users and groups currently assigned to role. Assigned users and groups have access to selected permissions and no access to cleared permissions.

  1. Log in to Cartella.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Roles.
  3. Choose one of the following steps.
    • Click Edit in the row's table row.
