If the standard user roles supplied in Elucidat do not fit your needs, you can create custom roles to better suit your business structure. With Advanced User Management, you can tailor the specific permissions that belong to a user role to create a new custom role that suits your organization's needs.
For example, you may want to create a content creator role that is able to edit content but not create releases to distribute it or a light-administrator role who can do everything but user management.
Before you begin
You can only edit the permissions of a User Role if you have the Advanced User Management feature enabled in your subscription. If you'd like to add Advanced User Management to your subscription, contact your Account Manager or Customer Success Manager.
