Hi,
first of all here you can find extremely useful tutorials by jpotts http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series
Then, when you insert a content into a repository you can set these security levels:

Consumer can read content
Editor can read and edit content
Contributor can read and add content
Collaborator can read, edit, and add content
Coordinator can read, edit, add, and delete content (full access)

So the role of a user is related to the content he can access.
Remember that the user that inserted that content is also owner of it, so he has full control over it.

Regards,
Andrea

Hello Andrea,

thank you for help.

If I start the user in Alfresco Explorer, there is no way (or I did not find) to issue rights. In fact I do not know what powers will the user, creating it that way. I took a chance and was surprised that created essentially blind user to create websites and do almost anything. Such situations are not allowed at work.
So I have to learn by experience that can or that users have rights.

Best regards,
Elena
