To add a role rule, click 'Add'.
- Select a folder for which CMS Roles rules are defined.
- Review the list of CMS Roles.
- For each rule:
- Select Allow or Deny
- Select whether this applies to COR, Jetfire or Both Roles
- Check one or more Roles that the rule applies to
- Check one or more actions that the rule applies to: Edit, Catalog, Design

Allow and Deny¶
Allow means that the selected actions are allowed for the selected roles.
Deny is the opposite. Think in terms of defining the opposite of what the rule is. e.g. To Deny the Editor from accessing the Library and Design, the actions for Catalog and Design are checked and the Editor Role is checked. If Allow is selected, the the editor is allowed access to the Catalog and Design actions. By selecting Deny, the Editor is not allowed to add or move Web Parts on the page.
Edit, Catalog and Design Actions¶
Roles for Microsoft Web Parts allow the user to edit Web Parts, add Web Parts to a page and move Web Parts about on the page. It is an 'all or nothing' rule. By adding CMS Access Rules, a refinement to the rules is achieved. Roles are given access to any combination of:
- Edit: editing Web Parts.
- Catalog: This action allows the user to view the catalog of Web Part Libraries.
- Design: This action allows the user to move Web Parts into zones about the page.
Access
This Web Part is accessed by the
CMS Admin Panel.
