Users, Groups, Roles, and Privileges
When you want to work in Bloomreach Experience Manager, you need to login as a certain user. Your CMS administrator will set up a user account for you and add you to at least one user group. Through the groups you are a member of, certain roles are assinged to you in certain areas of the CMS. Each role represents a set of privileges a user in that role has. Make sure you know which role you are allowed to play in the CMS.
The following default groups and roles are defined in Bloomreach Experience Manager:
| Group | Role | Where? | Privileges |
|---|---|---|---|
| author | author | All content |
|
| editor | editor | All content |
|
| webmaster | editor | All channels |
|
| admin | admin | Everywhere |
|
The default groups are just a starting point. An actual Bloomreach Experience Manager instance may have different groups configured with more fine-grained privileges (for example, a group "news editors" may have the "editor" role only in the "news" folder, but not in other folders).
