How to create a custom Administrator in Alfresco

Question

I am using Alfresco 6.2. I want to create an Administrator who is not allowed to create content? What's the best way to achieve this?

Answer 1

User’s role determines what they can and cannot do in a site. Each role has a default set of permissions. You can choose the roles based on your requirement.

• Managers have full rights to all site content - what they have created themselves and what other site members have created.
• Collaborators have full rights to the site content that they own; they have rights to edit but not delete content created by other site members.
• Contributors have full rights to the site content that they own; they cannot edit or delete content created by other site members.
• Consumers have view-only rights in a site: they cannot create their own content. Coordinator - has full rights to all content - what they have created themselves and what others have created.
• Editor - has rights to edit file properties and check files in and out; they cannot create their own content.

You can then configure custom permissions (could also be referred to as custom roles). Please follow this link for Custom Permissions.
