Alfresco roles

[simon]

Hi Alfresco,

I'm struggling with the different roles. First, where can I find an overview of the different roles and their meanings? I'm using this list (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/PermissionModelDefintionExample) for now but it's outdated.

Secondly, how can I give someone remove rights without having to give him full access? Even the collaborator doesn't have this.

Last one, would like to give someone editor rights on all the documents in a space but don't allow him to create new spaces. So add and remove documents only.

Thanks!

Hi

The list of roles is on my to do list - just not at the top yet….
config\alfresco\model\permissionDefinitions.xml is the best place to look at the moment.

You can give remove rights to collaborator by including delete.

      <permissionGroup name="Collaborator" allowFullControl="false" expose="true">
         <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Editor" type="cm:cmobject" />
         <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Contributor" type="cm:cmobject" />
         <includePermissionGroup type="sys:base" permissionGroup="Delete"/>
      </permissionGroup>

At the moment there is no simple support for limiting creation to just documents. 

Regards

Andy
