In Site Manager -> Administration -> Permissions, you can find a special permission matrix for controlling access to all documents within the content tree. It is the Module -> Content permission matrix. The following global permissions can be granted to particular roles:

 

Browse tree

Allows members of the role to view the document content tree in CMS Desk (not necessarily the actual document content — that is determined by the Read permission). For users without this permission, the system blocks the entire Content tab (except for users who belong to roles with the Browse tree permission for the CMS.Root document type or for the given website's Root document on the document level).

 

Users also need this permission to perform document management actions through the On-site editing interface.

Read

Allows members of the role to view the content and settings of documents in the CMS Desk content tree. Additionally, users require this permission to access the on-site editing interface.

Modify

Allows members of the role to modify any document in the content tree. Note that for for approving or rejecting documents within a workflow, the Manage workflow permission is sufficient.

Check in any document

Authorizes members of the role to perform the Check-in and Undo check-out actions on the Properties -> Versions tab of a document's editing interface.

Create

Allows members of the role to create documents of any document type in the content tree.

Delete

Allows members of the role to delete any document in the content tree.

Manage workflow

Allows members of the role to approve or reject any document at any workflow step. Note that the Modify permission is not necessary for approving or rejecting documents.

Destroy

Allows members of the role to destroy (delete without the Undo option) any document.

Modify permissions

Allows members of the role to manage document-level permissions of any document in CMS Desk -> Content -> Edit -> Properties -> Security.

Submit for translation

Allows members of the role to create new language versions of documents using Translation services.
