Role

In Cascade Server, the abilities of a user are often defined by the Role(s) to which that user is assigned. These roles may be either be assigned explicitly through the user management system, or they may be inherited from the groups to which that user currently belongs.

The five roles in Cascade Server, in order of increasing ability, are:

• Contributor
• Approver
• Publisher
• Manager
• Administrator

Note that each role inherits capabilities from the role beneath it. For example, the Manager may do anything that the Publisher, Approver, and Contributor role may do, but not everything that the Administrator is capable of doing.

Cascade Server, when considering if an action by a particular user is permissible, will examine the highest role that user has been given.
