Publisher Roles
Publisher security is role-based and assigned by folder.
The IDK remote Publisher API can be used to query role information
but does not provide programmatic access to modify roles.
Roles define the actions that a user is able to perform in
a given folder. The actions that each role can perform are cumulative;
a higher role can perform certain actions in addition to all the actions
lower roles can perform. For example, a Submitter can perform all
the actions a Reader can perform, in addition to creating, previewing,
editing, and submitting content items. For details on configuring
and assigning Publisher roles, see the Administrator Guide for
AquaLogic Interaction Publisher or the Publisher online help.
