User role permissions
Understand Fresco’s user roles and what each one can do so you can assign the right access for your team. Please note:
- An SSO account is required for each user role
- External editors will need virtual card access before you can grant them a user role
- Refer to the Card Office for further information
| User role | Description |
|---|---|
| Site Owner | The Owner is the person with overall responsibility for the site. The role can not be added or removed by editing a user's profile - there is a separate process to change Site Owner. The Owner also has to have the Site Administrator role |
| Site Administrator | This user has full editing access, with rights to configure and build the site. They will be responsible for settings, adding content, adding and managing users, and defining and managing available styling options. They have rights to edit and publish content created by other user roles |
| Site Manager | This user has Site Publisher rights and access to edit, publish and create component and page templates. However, they can not change anything under Appearance |
| Site Publisher | This user has the core rights to add, edit and publish content: pages, articles, people profiles, events, locations and media. They will be able to edit and/or publish content created by other users as well as their own |
| Site Editor | This user has the fewest editing rights. They will be able to add content and amend existing content - both their own and others'. However, they will not be able to publish |
| Viewer | Website stakeholders who are not content editors want to be able to review website content when the site is restricted to SSO users. They can view content in draft state, but not edit it |
