Admin Manual

In this section you will learn more about the different roles in RedactManager.

A user can hold multiple roles at the same time. The Manager role, for example, includes the User role, and the (Application) Admin role includes the User Admin role. A Manager & Admin holds the Admin role and the Manager role.

User: 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.

User Admin: As a User Admin your admin rights are limited to user management. You can create new RedactManager users and delete existing users. You can also change the users' roles, assign a different role to a user or revoke an existing role – and disable active users. However, you cannot create and edit dossiers or documents.
