RolesΒΆ

Users may be assigned one or more roles. The roles determine whether the user may search, submit, retrieve, and annotate items in the repository. Each web service method on the repository specifies which roles are required to complete the invocation.

Colectica Repository has three built-in roles to which users or groups of users may be assigned.

ColecticaAdministrator

Read and write access to repository methods; read and write access to Colectica Portal configuration

ColecticaUser

Read and write access to repository methods

ColecticaGuest

Read-only access to repository methods

For a method-by-method list of which Repository methods are available to which built-in role, see Repository Methods and Roles.
