Capabilities

This menu item displays the Capabilities form. It is only present when editing users, not when editing persons. Using this form you can assign capabilities to a user.

Whereas the roles assigned to a user determine a user's access to content or data, capabilities determine a user's access to CUE functionality. Each capability represents a CUE user interface component and its associated functionality. The capabilities can be enabled or disabled individually, or as groups of related capabilities. The online capability group, for example, can be used to disable all online capabilities for a user who will only work with print publications.

Disabling a capability doesn't just disable the related user interface components in CUE, it hides them: the user will not see irrelevant functionality at all.

Each capability/group has three possible settings:

Inherit

Inherit the setting from the owning group.

Select the capability settings you want to assign to the user and click on Save.
