Customizing Role Privileges


Restriction: You need to be signed in using an administrator's account in order to customize the privileges.


User Menu > Settings > Users & Groups > Privileges


Here Admin-level users can customize what kinds of privileges Contributors and Consumers are allowed to view, modify, download, share, etc. You can also set the desired privileges for custom roles.


Note: The default roles don't show all the possible privileges.


How to customize Privileges

  1. Each standard role (Contributor and Consumer) and each custom role (here: TEST & Designer) has its own tab on which the respective rights can be precisely defined.
  2. Click the tab for the role whose permissions you want to adjust. Enable or disable the rights you want to grant or deny for the role.
  3. Click Save to complete the editing and apply your changes.


Here you can find the privileges from which you can choose:
