Advanced User Management is included in the Team and Enterprise tiers or as a paid add-on to your Growth subscription. With it, you can create new User Roles and modify existing ones for a more personalized set of roles that fit with your business structure. Contact your Account Manager or Customer Success Manager to discuss adding Advanced User Management to your subscription.
To get you started in Elucidat Author, we have provided you with a number of default roles relating to common user profiles and job roles. With Advanced User Management, you can modify these or create more tailored user roles that suit your individual business needs.
For example, you may want to create a content creator role that is able to edit content but not create releases to distribute it or a light-administrator role who can do everything but user management.
Customising your User Roles
Creating a new role
By default, you can create up to a total of 30 User Roles.
You may request more if you wish but to keep things manageable we recommend focusing on defining distinct roles with clear responsibilities instead of creating many roles with only slight differences in permissions.
For more information about how to create a new role, see Creating new User Roles.
Editing an existing role
All of the default User Roles can be edited with the exception of the following:
- Administrator
- External Collaborator
- Restricted Reviewer
- Translator
To learn how to change an existing role, see Modifying a User Role's permissions.
| Note: Advanced User Management is only available for Elucidat Author. Elucidat Create provides several pre-built roles but it is not possible to create new roles or modify existing ones. |
