Purpose
Access
For each role, permissions are listed for each of the OpCon screens. Some screens are nested under a parent; for example, Catalogue and Workflow are nested under Content. Nested screens can be viewed using the expand icon at the end of applicable rows). The default setting for all screens is Exclude.
On this tab, select the level of access for the role.
Full access provides full ability to create, edit, delete, move etc.
Editor permissions provide a lower level of access with limited ability to create, edit, move etc. You can configure additional settings such as delete for some screens via the Restrictions and Additional tabs.
Read provides read-only access, i.e. no ability to create, edit, delete, move etc.
Exclude removes access to the page completely.
Inherit applies to nested screens only and means that nested screens inherit the permission level of the parent.
You can configure different privileges for different items. For example, you could set Editor permissions for the Dashboard and Read for the Rails builder etc.
Restrictions
Delete permissions can be configured for the Content Catalogue screen for entities such as Editorial Content, Technical Content and Nodes. The default setting for these values is to disable delete. Additional delete settings must also be configured in the Additional tab if delete support is required; see Restrict Node Delete below.
