User Accounts - Roles And Permissions
In the Quintype environment, specific Permissions allow you to perform specific tasks. One or more permissions are clustered together to define a Role. Roles are then assigned to the Account IDs of users.
Permissions are of three types: Content, Analytics, and Admin.
- Content permissions are relevant to managing content in your stories. Story save, publish and retract, edit options etc.
- Analytics permissions allow you access to the analytics page and the download reports.
- Admin permissions are relevant to user creation and role management; they also include Tag related permissions.
Once a role is defined, that role can be assigned to one or more users. Permissions are what allow users to perform their day-to-day tasks in the system. Any member who has ‘admin’ level access can assign roles to other users. Each role can be customized to allow or restrict permissions on the story editing interface. For example, a ‘Guest Contributor’ role can have access to create stories and submit for review to an ‘Editor’. An ‘Editor’ role can have the authority to reject or publish the story.
A Role inherits permissions from its Parent Role. You can assign additional permissions to that role, but you cannot disinherit permissions received from the parent role.
Here is a list of permissions and what each means:
| Permission Name | What it Means |
| access-all-content | See Notifications from everyone |
