Access Levels (Permission Levels)

 

Administrators: Kristine, the Camp Leader is the Admin.  You will be an admin on your own workspace

As an Administrator, you can rename or delete anything on the workspace. Administrators can add users, change their permission levels or remove them. Admins alone have access to the workspace's Settings page and are also the only ones who can change page and folder level security settings. Admins are the only ones who can see Hidden pages or edit Locked pages.

 

Editors: All mentors are editors, they are highly trusted not to delete important pages and folders

Editors are trusted helpers who are highly privileged Writers. They can rename or delete pages, files and folders. Editors should be highly trusted, since they can delete your data irrevocably.

 

Writers: Campers are writers, they can not delete pages or folders.  

The recommended default for invited users. Writers can edit pages and revert pages to previous versions. They can also upload new files and create new pages. Writers cannot perform any action that cannot be undone. Writers can move a page into a folder, but can not remove that page and place it in a different folder.
