RedactManager Documentation

Roles and permissions

RedactManager offers different user roles to ensure users can access the features based on their needs.

Roles: User, Manager, and Admin

Permissions: Dossier Owner, Approver, and Reviewer

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

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

Admin: You have administrator rights for RedactManager. (Please see our Admin Manual to learn more about the Admin settings and features.)

Reviewer: Your editing features are limited. Reviewers can only suggest redactions and dictionary entries. The Dossier Owner or an Approver (2-step approval process) must confirm the suggested redactions and dictionary entries.

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

Dossier Owner: You can own and manage a dossier, archive a dossier, and edit the dossier properties. The Dossier Owner is also permitted to use all the other application features.

The following table shows which features are available to users with the respective permission:
