User Roles

There are three User Roles in Elucidat Create that you can assign to your users.

  • Administrator—has full access to all aspects of the account including user management and viewing Analytics
  • Author—may create Projects and Brands, upload assets,
  • Restricted Author—has the same permissions as an Author except those relating to exporting content from the platform.

You can also choose No access which means the user will not be able to use Elucidat Create.

Here is a quick reference guide to the key permissions that each role grants.

Administrator Author Restricted Author

Create Projects Yes Yes Yes
Upload assets Yes Yes Yes
Create Brand Styles Yes Yes Yes
Auto-Translate Projects Yes Yes Yes
Release Projects Yes Yes No
Export translation files Yes Yes No
View all Projects in account Yes No No

Access Levels

Access Levels in Create can be applied to various types of content—not just Projects. Content that can be restricted by Access Levels are:

  • Projects
  • Assets
  • Brand Styles

There are three Access Levels.

  • Owner
    As the Owner, you are permitted to carry out all management actions for that content, including deletion.
  • Editor
    Can view and edit the content but they are not permitted to delete it.
  • No access
    Cannot see or access the content.

Here is a quick reference guide to each of the Access Levels.

Owner Editor No access
Action
View the content Yes Yes No
Edit the content Yes Yes No
Duplicate the content Yes Yes No
Share the content with others Yes Yes No
Release the content Yes No No
Delete the content Yes No No

 

Important information about Administrators

There are a few exceptions that apply to an Administrator.

  • Administrators are able to view and edit all Projects in their organization's account regardless of their Access Level
  • Administrators can also view all Brands and assets in their organization's account and are permitted to delete them if they are not the Owner.

Unless they are the Owner of a Project, Administrators are prohibited from:

  • Changing its Access Levels
  • Deleting it
