Roles and permissions overview

Permissions to create and manage a Contensis resource are determined by user being assigned to a role or a member of a system group.

The following system groups give global permission for the resource across all projects in a Contensis instance. They are outlined below, and in more detail in our Contensis system groups article.

• System Administrators
• API Key Administrators
• Content type Administrators
• Component Administrators
• Site View Administrators
• Roles Administrators

Roles are a way of granting groups of users in your organisation permission to perform certain actions on specific resources of a project. This enables you to separate the duties within your team and provide users with exactly the amount of access that they need to do their job.

If a user is a member of multiple projects, they can have different roles for each project.

The permissions for the following resources can be assigned at the project level using the roles builder.

• Assets
• Blocks
• Comments
• Entries
• Event streams
• Proxies
• Redirects
• Renderers
• Site View
• Views
• Webhooks
