Kavi Edit Help

Chapter 11. Manage Editor Types

Overview

The Manage Editor Types tools is used by organization editors to manage the editor types that are assigned to web pages to control who can edit web page content. Once a type has been assigned to a web page, only users who have also been assigned that editor type will be able to use Kavi® Edit tools to edit that page.

The default editor type 'Organization Editor' has permission to edit all editable pages of a site. This type cannot be deleted, but it can be edited.
