Roles

Roles are used to manage authorization in Cyber Publisher. Roles are lists of users that can be applied to objects such as access lists to determine if a user is allowed access to a particular resource. Users can be assigned to roles. Examples of roles are Manager, Employee, Client, Marketing etc. All Cyber Publisher installations contain the pre-defined Administrator role which cannot be deleted.

Assigning Users to Roles

To assign a user to a role, go to Security > Users in the admin navigation menu and click the Edit button in the user list to edit a user. From this page, you can check the boxes next to the roles that you want the user to be assigned to.
