User Manual

Roles and permissions

RedactManager offers different user roles. The different roles have different permissions and can therefore use different features.

Roles: User, Manager, and Admin

Permissions: Dossier Owner, Approver, and Reviewer

User: The User role focuses on editing and approving documents and does not have permissions for all features in RedactManager. The User role does not allow you to create, own, and manage dossiers.

Manager: As a Manager, you have permissions for all features in RedactManager. That means: You can edit and approve documents, and you can create, own and manage dossiers. However, there is one exception: You cannot access the Admin features because you do not have administrator rights.

Admin: The Admin (Administrator) has administrator rights for RedactManager. This role is not relevant for general users. We, therefore, do not go into detail about it in this User Manual.

Reviewer: The Reviewer's editing features are limited. Reviewers can only suggest redactions and dictionary entries. The redactions and dictionary entries must then be confirmed by the Dossier Owner or Approver (2-level authorization scheme).

Approver: As an Approver, you can use all the editing features. However, you don't have permission to create and close dossiers and you cannot edit the dossier properties.

Dossier Owner: As a Dossier Owner, you can create, own and manage a dossier, close a dossier and edit the dossier properties. Apart from that, the Dossier Owner has permission to use all the other application features.

The following table shows which features you can use with the different permissions.
