Roles & Permissions

User Roles and Permissions are applied to a user or Team access through the Accounts instance settings drawer. Role permissions range from limiting the types of resources a user can access to whether they can save, create, delete, or publish contents.

All users are managed by an Owner or Admin user roles. Access and permissions are specific to an individual user's role on a single instance. If they are a member of a team, their access will be limited to the team's role as its assigned on an instance.

Note: Leads in the screenshot below is only visible if an instance has form that uses Zesty's ZLF

All roles have access to publishing/unpublishing and deleting content except for the Contributor role.

Base Roles Types
