Authorize a user account

Communications Manager Repository provides a role-based authorization functionality. A user can be assigned a role for all Communications Manager Repository projects or for a specific project, folder, or document. A role defines the actions a user is allowed to perform.

  1. In the tree view, click Users, and in the right pane, select the user account.
  2. Right-click the user account and click Configuration.

    The Configuration window appears.

  3. On the Authorization tab, in the Global roles pane, select or deselect roles assigned to the user.

    To create new projects, at least one user must be assigned a Project Administrator role.

  4. Click Apply and click OK.

    The roles assigned to a user account in the Global roles pane apply to all projects in Communications Manager Repository. To assign roles for a specific project, folder or document, use the Configuration window for this project/folder/document.

    When a new role is assigned to a user, the user must log out and then log in.
