Roles & Permissions
Roles & permissions give your company the ability to control and assign what users can and cannot do in ProProfs. You can assign every user in ProProfs a role when you add them.
Assigning different roles lets you:
-
Assess user performance based on tasks assigned
-
Streamline the workflow
ProProfs has these pre-defined roles:
-
Administrator - Administrators have access and can make changes to all features and settings.
-
Editor - Editors can publish and manage pages but cannot change the settings.
-
Contributor - Contributors can write or edit pages but cannot delete or publish them. Neither can they access the settings.
-
Viewer - Viewers can only view the content, similar to logged-out users. This role is designed for private sites.
-
Group Admin - Group administrators can only view the users added to their group. They can view their roles and status but cannot perform any actions.
Each role can perform a particular set of tasks, called 'Permissions.'
Here's the permissions chart for each role:
