Managing User Groups & Permissions

CEO comes with basic access control groups that should fit most organizations, but they can be tweaked, combined and extended as necessary.

Administrator

Administrators can do everything within the system and this is the one group that you can't change or remove. There are actions that only members of the Administrator group can perform, like clearing locks, creating and updating groups, and updating some publication settings. With the exception of updating groups, these actions cannot be delegated to other user groups.

It's good practice to have only a few Administrators in your organization.

Super Editor

A Super Editor is like an Administrator, but with slightly less power. While administrators have access to just about all settings and content, they cannot clear locks or update group settings.

Editor

Editors are be able to provide for most daily functions of a news organization. Notable differences from a Super Editor user would be:

1. Cannot manage users.
2. Cannot delete content, assignments or containers.
3. Cannot manage Workflows or WorkflowSections.
4. Cannot delete issues.
