Roles

Access to site functionality is based on user roles. Each role grants a discrete set of permissions, and a user can hold several roles at once — roles are additive. Most people who work on content will have Author, and those who sign content off will have Author and Approver.

Role	What it can do
Anonymous	Visitors who have not logged in. Pages are cached for this role.
Authenticated	Every logged-in user. Gives access to the user profile and the admin toolbar.
Author	Create and edit all content and media, manage menus and redirects, send content for review. Cannot publish.
Approver	Publish, archive and restore content, and revert to earlier revisions.
Structure	Manage taxonomy terms and custom blocks.
Manager	Add, edit and block users and assign roles.
Webform manager	Build and configure webforms. Cannot see submissions.
Submission viewer	View and delete webform submissions, which may contain personal data.
Themer	Configure the theme: skins, colours, typography, fonts, icons and patterns.
Site administrator	Wide-ranging access to configuration. Not covered by this guide.

Each role has its own chapter below, with examples from the demo site, https://govcms.convivial.io/. To see which roles you have, open your account menu in the toolbar (your username) and choose Edit profile — your roles are listed under Roles but can only be changed by a Manager.
