The release of Cascade Server 5.5 was an exciting one for the Hannon Hill team, as it included some important new features focused solely on enhancing the overall user experience with Cascade. Last week, we told you about Content Types, which allow users to easily apply a predefined type, such as a Blog Post or Press release, to a particular page of content while maintaining consistency among other pages of the same Content Type. Today, we’re highlighting another great feature from our recent release, Customizable Roles.
Customizable Roles enable administrators to change the default capabilities of each of the five user roles in Cascade. Complete customization of these capabilities is now available, which allows for more administrative flexibility than ever before in managing roles and their duties in areas such as Administration, Security, Home Area, Publishing, and Workflows.
To modify the capabilities of one of the 5 roles in Cascade:
- Navigate to the Administration Area and click 'Users, Groups, & Roles'.
- Click the 'Edit' tab for the role which you would like to modify.
- The selected role's default settings will be displayed as a list of "abilities" with a check box (or yes/no radio button) next to it.
- Toggle any of these abilities on or off as you see fit.
In addition to the Customizable Roles feature, we’ve also added a couple of new user preferences. Users can now specify whether or not the left navigation asset tree will appear by default upon login, and users with the ability to bypass workflows can now also specify whether or not those workflows will be bypassed by default.
