Example of an Approval Chain
The approval chain begins when a content contributor submits a
new or edited content block. If e-mail is enabled, an e-mail is sent
to the next approver in the approval chain.
The following example follows a typical content block from creation
to publication. Three users make up this approval chain
Sports Writer - creates sports content
Sports Editor - edits and publishes all sports articles
Editor In Chief - edits and publishes all articles
Each user has different permissions corresponding to their roles.
