User Groups
Add Groups
Administrators can organize users into groups. Groups can be used to restrict access to particular folders, maps, or files.
Read and Write Permissions
If you are an Administrator, you can manage read and write permissions to restrict user groups from reading and writing to folders, maps, and files.
User Roles
Heretto CCMS includes two general types of user roles (Administrator and non-Administrator roles). For more information, see User Roles, Permissions, and Privileges.
Administrators can allow or deny user groups to read and write:
- Folders (including or excluding subfolders)
- Maps (including or excluding map dependencies and resource-only files)
- Files
Permission Types
There are two permission types that determine what a user group can do with a particular folder, map, or file.
- Read Permissions
- If you don't have permissions to read a resource, you:
- Cannot see or access the resource in the content library
- Cannot branch, release, edit, and run reports on the resource
- Cannot see the resource in the Activity interface
- Cannot access the resource through a WebDAV connection (for example, while using oXygen)
- Can publish the resource but its content is replaced with restricted access notification in the output
- Can only see restricted link text of the links that lead to the resource
- Write Permissions
- If you don't have permissions to write to a resource, you cannot:
- Edit the resource in the Content Editor or Source Editor
- Edit the resource metadata
- Manage the resource in the content library (for example, move, lock, or rename the resource)
- Edit the resource through a WebDAV connection (for example, while using oXygen)
- Update the resource locales
Permissions Management
Considerations
- By default, all users have access to the entire content library.
- If you apply multiple access rules, the first rule takes precedence over the rest of the rules.
Example: If a user is denied permissions by the first rule but is also granted permissions by the second rule, the user would be denied permission because the first rule takes precedence.
- Administrators can be restricted from accessing folders, maps or files just like regular users. However, Administrators can add themselves to user groups that have access to a particular folder, map, or file at any time.Remember: We recommend to carefully select your Heretto CCMS Administrators.
Set Permissions for Folders or Files
Administrators can deny user-groups the permissions required to open or edit files, maps, and folders.
- In the content library, choose the resources that you want to edit permissions for by doing one of the following:
Option Description To set permissions for a single resource, right-click the folder, map, or file and select Set Permissions. To set permissions for a folder and subfolders, right-click the folder, and select . To set permissions for a map, map dependencies, and resource-only files appended to the map, right-click the map, and select .
