5.4. Roles

LFC comes with several roles out of the box.

These roles have several default permissions by default. Anyway, the permissions can vary dependent on the workflow and workflow state of an content object.

5.4.1. General

  • Every user has automatically the Anonymous role.
  • The creator of an object has automatically the Owner role
  • The Manager role can do everything independent on workflow and current workflow state.
  • The Reviewer role can change the workflow state of an object independent on workflow and current workflow state.
