Use Case: Give local roles to other users

Actor: Content Creator

Goal: Collaborate with other content creators

The CMF allows you to collaborate with other content contributors. You can give others the ability to add and modify content in a folder that you own or manage by giving them roles specific to the folder and its subfolders.

To give another content contributor local roles, navigate to a folder where they require additional permissions. You can do this by navigating to a content object in that folder and clicking Folder contents in the actions box or by click My Stuff in the actions box. Once you are in the appropriate folder, click Set local roles in the action box.

Set local roles takes you to the assign local roles form where you can assign roles to or remove roles from users. To find a user to whom you will assign additional local roles, enter their name or email address into the form field labled Search Term. Make sure you have selected the appropriate drop down which corresponds to the search term you have entered (i.e. if you choose to search for a user with their email, make sure you select Email Address from the Search by drop down).

Click the Search button to be returned a list of users matching your query. Select the checkbox next to the appropriate users Select the role you'd like to give them from the drop down menu labled Role to Assign.

Click the Assign Roles button to complete the process of adding the local roles to the users you selected from your search query. You will be returned to the manage local roles form with a notification indicating the users have now been added the roles you've choosen to assign.
