Setting the General options in the Role Settings dialog box

Use the General permissions category to specify a starting (home) page that users in the selected role see on entering the website.

  1. Select Allow users to publish files to let users assigned to this role publish pages they create. In addition, they can publish or delete drafts sent to them for review.

    Allowing users to publish or delete files lets them delete or publish drafts sent by other Contribute users. Before letting a user publish or delete files, carefully consider if their assigned role should be given this level of control in the publishing of documents. You might need to create a specific role with this permission enabled.

    Users without draft publishing and deleting permissions can only send drafts for review or edit drafts in the review process. For more information about the draft review process, see Send web page drafts and files for review.

  2. In the Role description text box, enter a brief description of the website.

    This description appears when a user selects a role to join.

  3. To let users in the selected role have a more specific home page on the website, enter the URL in the Home page for users in this role text box, or click the Browse button to locate the home page.

    You can specify any page on the website as the home page for the specified role. For example, the home page of a website is typically www.mysite.com/index.htm. However, you might want to have members of a role directed to a page on the website, such as www.mysite.com/marketing/marcom.htm.

  4. Select another permissions category to modify or click OK to apply your changes.
