Concepts
Permissions are controlled by Content Groups. That is, Content Groups
are used to determine what permissions different User Groups will have
when accessing one of the content block in a particular Content Group.
Content Groups are discussed later in this chapter.
User Group Permissions
Users Groups are eventually associated with Content Groups within
eMPower. It is the Content Groups that determine which permissions are
assigned to the User Groups. A User is given permissions based upon the
groups to which he/she is assigned. As mentioned in the previous section,
a company's department could have two User Groups assigned to it. Each
group can have different levels of permissions. For example, a group of
Human Resource content blocks could have one User Group that can add
and edit the contents of all content blocks associated with the Human
Resource Content Group, while another User Group can only view, accept
or reject, and publish the content blocks associated with that department.
The Permissions that can be assigned to a User Group are identified in the
table below:

View View any content additions or changes
Add Add content blocks to the Web page
Edit Edit content
Delete Delete content blocks from the Web site
Restore Restore a content block to its previous state

Groups. Content Groups are discussed later in this chapter.
