The permissions included in the User Role are:
- Create Projects
- Edit page content
- Upload assets
- Start a project from a template

You can assign an existing user the Guided Author role by following the steps in Assigning a role to a user and selecting the Guided Author User Role for them.
What might the platform look like for a Guided Author user?
A Guided Author will see fewer options in the top toolbar than a standard Author would.
Project Library
Guided Authors can access existing Projects or Templates that they have permission to view and edit in the Project Library.
They can't create new Projects or Templates from scratch but they can make new Projects from any Templates that have already been created. For more information about how to do this, see Creating a Project from a custom built Template.
Editing interface
In the editing interface, Guided Authors can make content edits in Author but won't be able to make any structural changes, configuration changes, or create releases. They can review the Project's configuration by going to Configure and access any existing releases in Release.
Collaboration
Guided Authors can make use of Elucidat's Collaboration features and add comments to a Project for review using the Review tab. For more information about the full range of our Collaboration features and how to use them, see the Collaborating across teams section.
