Kavi Edit Help

Chapter 9. Assign Editors

Overview

The Assign Editors tool is used by organization editors to assign editor types to users so they can acquire the permissions needed to edit web site pages with Kavi Edit tools. The ability to edit a page is governed by the editor type assigned to the page. Each editor type is associated with an automatically generated role that controls page access. To edit a page controlled by a role, the user must have that role in their role cache. The user acquires the role when assigned an editor type associated with that role. In Kavi Edit, this means that the editor type assigned to the user must be the same as the editor type assigned to the page.

Assigning the default editor type 'Organization Editor' to a user grants that user permission to edit all editable pages of the site.
