Here you can create new permission roles, modify which items will be accessible in permission roles and delete permission roles. Default permission roles cannot be deleted.

This feature is particularly useful when you want to provide access to only some items of MoST and not others, depending on the user’s role within your organisation e.g. providing ‘FULL’ access to all Event related items for the Events Manager, and selecting ‘DENIED’ for all other items in MoST.

To create a new permission role:

1. Click on the 'Users and Permissions' menu item from the tool bar. A drop-down menu will then appear.
2. Click 'Manage Permission Roles'  to open the dialog window (above image).
3. Click the 'New' button to create a new permission. Please note that if you want to base this new role on an existing one, select the existing role 'Role' drop-down menu before selecting ‘New’.
4. Enter a unique name for the new Permission Role in the 'Role' text field at the top of the dialog window.
5. Select the levels of access required for each item.
6. Click ‘Apply’ to save.
7. Follow the ‘To modify an existing permission role’ instructions below to set the permissions roles.

To modify an existing permission role:

1. Click on the 'Users and Permissions' menu item from the tool bar. A drop-down menu will then appear.
2. Click 'Manage Permission Roles' to open the dialog window.
3. Select the Permission Role that you want to change from the ‘Role’ drop-down menu.
4. Scroll through the item list and select the appropriate permission level by clicking on the appropriate radio button adjacent to the item.
5. Click ‘Apply’ to save.

Definition of the Levels of Permission

DENIED: Disables any access to the item.

RESTRICTED: Provides partial access to the item where supported.

FULL: Provides full unrestricted access to the item.

To delete an existing role:

1. Click on the 'Users and Permissions' menu item from the tool bar. A drop-down menu will then appear.
2. Click 'Manage Permission Roles' to open the dialog window.
3. Select the Permission Role you want to delete from the ‘Role’ drop-down menu at the top of the dialog window.
4. Click ‘Delete’ to permanently delete.

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 should be assigned a role of browser.
