Configuring Application Permissions

Overview

There are additional system-defined core roles that are specific permission-based roles. Note that these roles are assigned to users on a per-application basis. The following roles are automatically generated and assigned by the Sign Manager extension:

  • Restricted Access - This permission restricts the user from having any access to the application unless a permission is explicitly granted to a widget.
  • Manage Content - This permission allows a user to have access to the selected application’s content items only.
  • Manage Schedule - This permission allows a user to have access to the selected application’s content items and its schedules.
  • Manage Application - This permission allows a user to have full access of the selected application

Configuring Application Permissions

Step 1

Select the application for which you would like to configure a content approval workflow.

Step 2

Click Permissions.

Step 3

Select the user for whom you want to apply a content approval workflow.

Note

Set the permission of the user to Restricted Access to ensure that any content allocation by the user goes through the content approval workflow.

  • Manage Application – The user will have full access to the selected application.
  • Manage Schedule – The user will be allowed to manage only the application’s content and its schedules.
  • Manage Content – The user will be allowed to manage the application’s content.
  • Restricted Access – The user will not have access to this application unless permissions are explicitly granted to a widget.

Step 4

Administrators can also configure user access on a per-widget basis. Select the Widget option from the View By drop-down list. The permissions matrix is color-coded for easy identification of each user permission.

Step 5

Select the user with Restricted Access and click on the plus icon in the cell that corresponds to the user and the widget you wish to assign.

Step 6

Set a permission for that widget and click OK.

Step 7

You can repeat the above steps to configure access to other widgets and for other users.
