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.
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.
In the Role description text box, enter a brief description
of the website.
This description appears when a user selects
a role to join.
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.
