2. Shared folders' user roles and permission

2.1 Roles' rational

There are 4 roles for a shared folder:

  • Folder Manager: Only this role can change the users (and their role) with who a folder is shared. The Folder Manager can also rename and permanently delete a folder or its content.
  • Content Manager: This role can create and organize content freely. However, the Content Manager can't share the folder itself.
  • Content Contributor: This role can create content but only organize its own content. In this way, the Content Contributor can't modify the classification the manager or content manager put in place.
  • Reader: This role can visit all drafts in the shared folder in read-only mode.
