Brightspot CMS User Guide

Permissions


Permissions are a set of configurations that control access to Brightspot features. By configuring permissions, you can improve the security of your publications.

Permissions are set at the role level, so they apply to all editors assigned to that role. If you have a role Reviewer, you customize permissions for that role, and then assign individual editors to that role.

Referring to the previous illustration, the Reviewer role has access to two sites (Brightspot and Blog) and to two content types (Article and Blog Post). The two editors assigned to that role, Adam and Olivia, inherit those permissions. They can only write articles and blog posts for the sites Brightspot and Blog.

You can provide granular permissions at the site level.

Referring to the previous illustration, the Reviewer role now has additional access to the site User Guide. Adam and Olivia, when working on that site, can publish four content types: Article, Blog Post, Image, and Video.

For information about configuring a role's permissions, see Creating a role.
