204 Chapter 13: Managing Users and Roles
To set general website settings for a role:
1.
Open the Edit
Role Name
Setting dialog box, if it’s not already open. (See “Editing a role’s
settings” on page 201 .)
2.
Click the General category on the left side of the dialog box.
3.
(Optional) Select Allow users to publish files .
If you select this option, users assigned to this role can publish pages they create. They can also
publish or delete drafts sent to them for review.
Providing publish and delete restrictions for draft reviews lets users delete and publish drafts
sent to them by other Contribute users. Before allowing a user to publish and delete drafts,
carefully consider if their assigned role should be given this level of control in the publishing of
documents. You might need to create a specific role with this permission enabled.
Users without draft publishing and deleting permissions can only send drafts for review or edit
drafts in the review process. For more information about the draft review process, see
“Getting
drafts and files reviewed by others” on page 42.
4.
In the Role description text box, enter a brief description of the role and its responsibilities.
This description appears when a user selects a role to join.
5.
When you initially defined the website, you specified the website’s home page. If you want users
in the selected role to have a more specific home page within the website, enter the URL in the
Home page for users in this role text box, or click the Choose button to locate the home page.
You can choose to specify any page on the website as the home page for the specified role.
6.
Select another role settings category to modify, or click OK to apply your changes.
