Interact-Intranet: Content Administration Guide

Below is a brief guide to the permissions required for various levels of content administration in Interact-Intranet v5.  This is a work in progress so please comment or email me with any additions or changes that I can make to this guide.

	Author	Approved Author	Admin
Can add documents	Yes, but submission requires approval	Yes	Yes
Can edit other peoples documents	Yes, but submission requires approval	Yes	Yes
Can add calendar entries	Yes	Yes	Yes
Can delete and set other peoples documents to inactive	No	Yes	Yes
Can approve content submitted by others	No	Yes	Yes
Can add images to a gallery	No	No?	Yes
Can modify area homepage widgets	No	No	Yes
Can modify content area structure	No	No	Yes

When an author begins the process of creating a document the file immediately becomes locked to them and can only be submitted for approval by themselves - not even an admin. Often times authors change their mind after beginning the process and will abandon these files which leaves many orphaned documents in the system. These files can be identified by their orange status within the Manage Documents section.
