Users and User Roles

The three kinds of User Roles are:

• Regular

• Organization

• Community

To view user roles, navigate to Control Panel -> Portal -> Users from the Welcome menu, click the link for any user, and choose Roles under User Information.

Regular Roles

Guest, User, Power User, Owner, and Administrator are the different Regular roles. All the user with login access to Web Space Server are assigned the User role. This role differentiates between a Guest and a person who has a user ID in the portal. By default, all users are also assigned the Power User role. This role by default gives users their own personal pages (both public and private) where they can place portlets.

Organization Roles

You can assign Organization Administrator, Organization Member, and Organization Owner roles to users who are members of a organization.

Community Roles

You can assign Community Administrator, Community Member, Community Owner, Content Designer, Content Editor, and Content Publisher roles to users who are members of a community.

To Define User Roles

1. Log in to Web Space Server as the admin user.

2. Navigate to Control Panel -> Portal -> Users from the Welcome menu.

3. Select a user from the list.

   Use the Regular Role, Community Roles, and Organization Roles tabs to assign Regular, Community, and Organization roles to the users.

4. Choose Roles under User Information.

   You can assign Regular roles for all users in addition to the default Regular roles. To be eligible for Organization or Community roles, the user need to be a member of a Web Space Server Organization or Community. You can also remove the roles assigned to a user here.

5. Choose Select under Regular Roles, Organization Roles, or Community Roles to assign more Regular, Organization, or Community roles respectively.

6. To remove an assigned role select Remove corresponding to the role.

7. Click Save.
