Author/Editor/Publisher comprise the Permissions Hierarchy (Coordinator/Supervisor/Manager). *************************** Viewing Access Levels Create new Viewing Access Levels and map which User Groups have access to them (*): View Access Level User Groups Having Viewing Access Comments | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Employee Employee | Sales Sales (@) | Warehouse Warehouse (@) | Registered-Exclusive Registered-Exclusive (#) | Employee-Exclusive Employee-Exclusive (#) | Employee-Author Employee-Author (@) | Employee-Author-Exclusive Employee-Author-Exclusive (#) | Employee-Editor Employee-Editor (@) | Employee-Editor-Exclusive Employee-Editor-Exclusive (#) | Employee-Publisher Employee-Publisher (@) | Employee-Publisher-Exclusive Employee-Publisher-Exclusive (#) Not really needed as Publisher is usually the most senior rank) | Sales-Exclusive Sales-Exclusive (#) | Sales-Author Sales-Author (@) | Sales-Author-Exclusive Sales-Author-Exclusive (#) | Sales-Editor Sales-Editor (@) | Sales-Editor-Exclusive Sales-Editor-Exclusive (#) | Sales-Publisher Sales-Publisher (@) | Sales-Publisher-Exclusive Sales-Publisher-Exclusive (#) Not really needed as Publisher is usually the most senior rank) | Warehouse-Exclusive Warehouse-Exclusive (#) | Warehouse-Author Warehouse-Author (@) | Warehouse-Author-Exclusive Warehouse-Author-Exclusive (#) | Warehouse-Editor Warehouse-Editor (@) | Warehouse-Editor-Exclusive Warehouse-Editor-Exclusive (#) | Warehouse-Publisher Warehouse-Publisher (@) | Warehouse-Publisher-Exclusive Warehouse-Publisher-Exclusive (#) Not really needed as Publisher is usually the most senior rank) | ================================================================================================================================================| (*) Also need to add the Super User, Manager & Administrator User Groups too each of the ‘Exclusive’ Access Levels. (#) These View Access Level mappings are required to provide exclusive access to some content for the corresponding User Group. They inherit from those below, but no-one inherits from these as these are leaf nodes. (@) Due to the User Group hierarchy, User Groups further along the branch will inherit view access to these View Access Levels without needing to be explicitly added the View Access Level. *************************** Categories Create the following categories: Note that in the set up below, the DELETE permission is not given to any staff.
