Setting general role settings
The General category lets you
specify a starting (home) page that users in the selected role see
when they enter the website. For example, if users in a given role are
assigned to a section of the site that excludes the site’s home
(or main) page, you might consider specifying a page elsewhere in
the site as the starting page for that role.
Open the Edit Role Name Setting dialog box, if
it’s not already open. (See Edit a role’s settings.)
Click the General category on the left side of the dialog
box.
(Optional) Select Allow users to publish files.
If
you select this option, users assigned to this role can publish
pages they create. They can also publish or delete drafts sent to
them for review.
Providing publish and delete restrictions
for draft reviews lets users delete or publish drafts sent to them
by other Contribute users. Before allowing a user to publish or
delete drafts, 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.
In the Role description text box, enter a brief description
of the role and its responsibilities.
This description appears
when a user selects a role to join.
When you initially defined the
website, you specified the website’s home page. 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 Choose button to locate the home page.
You can
choose to specify any page on the website as the home page for the specified
role.
Select another role settings category to modify, or click
OK to apply your changes.
