Web Platform Roles

Web permissions on the UK Web Platform are administered using roles. 

Anonymous User

Every visitor to your site, whether they have an account and log in or visit the site anonymously, is considered a user to Drupal. If a user is not logged in, then the user is considered an Anonymous user.

 

Authenticated User

Authenticated Users are users that are logged into your site. On the UK Web Platform users are authenticated with their linkblue credentials. Users can log into your site at [site-url]/user/login. By default, authenticated users have the same permissions as Anonymous Users. Sometimes you may want to limit access to content to just UK faculty, staff and students and you can filter with this role. 

 

Content Editor

The Content Editor role is the main role to add or edit content on your site. Content Editors can create and edit content using any of the standard content types including publishing, unpublishing and adding to site menus. Content Editors are limited in the content that they can delete on the site.
