Here you assign or deny user access to the various areas of MoST on a section by section basis.

You will need to assign permissions to any new user account created before the new user can access any MoST features (unless they have been made ‘Sys Admin’).

To assign or deny user permissions:

1. Click on the 'Users and Permissions' menu item from the tool bar. A drop-down menu will then appear.
2. Click 'Assign Permissions' to open the dialog window (above image).
3. Holding down the CTRL key, click on the users listed that you want to make permission changes to (listed under ‘Users…’ on the left).
4. Holding down the CTRL key, click on the sections that you want the user to have permission to access (listed under ‘Sections…’ on the right).
5. From the ‘Permission Level’ drop-down menu, select the Permission Role to be assigned to the selected users and sections.
6. Select ‘View’ to view the existing and proposed permissions of selected users and sections. A new window will appear.
7. Click ‘Apply’ in ‘Assign Permissions’ window to save.

Default Permission Roles:

Administrator: An administrator can create, edit, and delete Documents, Folders and Sections. If applicable, they will also be able to administer all MoST components. Essentially, the administrator has full access to all features of your MoST package.

Editor: An editor can edit any Document. No other administrative access.

Author: An author can create new Documents and will only be able to edit Documents that they have created. No other administrative access.

Browser: The browser role should only be assigned to an anonymous internet user of the front end of the website. No MoST user account should be assigned the role of browser.

Customised roles can be created under the ‘Mange Permission Roles’ menu option.
