Contributor

Contributor is a role in the system and can be assigned to a User or a Group. The Contributor role is the most basic role and allows only the simplest actions within the CMS.

Contributors may be given read or write access to areas in the system. These access permissions are set by an Administrator at the folder level and are set for an individual User, Group or for All Users.

A Contributor-level user may:

• Navigate through the site structure (read or write access).
• View content (read or write access).
• Edit content (write access only)
• Create new content using Asset Factories (determined by the listing under the New menu)(write access only).
• Copy items (write access only).
• Delete items (write access only.

All of the actions listed are controlled by a workflow process for the Contributor role, meaning that any action taken by a Contributor-level user within the system will go through a pre-determined approval process in order for the action to be completed.

A Group can also be assigned a Contributor level role with Cascade Server. When a Group has a Contributor role assigned to it, all Users within that Group are limited to actions permitted for the Contributor role, unless that user has a higher role.
