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.

  1. Open the Edit Role Name Setting dialog box, if it’s not already open. (See Edit a role’s settings.)

  2. Click the General category on the left side of the dialog box.

  3. (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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Select another role settings category to modify, or click OK to apply your changes.
