You can assign or edit access permissions for a site by selecting the roles and their associated access permissions for groups of users. Roles define the type of actions available to those users when visiting the site and their access to its pages and content in its feeds.
Considerations
- Groups: A group may have only one assigned role for a site. However, a user may belong to multiple groups with different roles and associated access permissions for the site. If the user is in multiple groups with access to the site, the role with the highest access permissions takes precedence.
- Root directory access: To access pages and content in the digital workplace, a user must be in a group with an assigned role for the root directory (i.e., top location in the site structure, which may be named Home) in the Site Manager.
