In simple view the user or role permissions are subsumed to global permissions or permissions on catalog base.
Permissions Tab
You can either grant a user global permissions or grant “individual” permissions for catalogs. Once you grant a user the global permission, the user has this permission for any catalog – no matter whether the permission is given for the catalog or not.
Global Permissions
• Read Metadata – User can view catalogs and the metadata of all records and categories.
• Write Metadata – User can edit the metadata of all records and categories, e.g. can catalog assets and add metadata to records.
• Delete Records & Categories – User can delete records (and their assets) as well as categories.
• Manage Sets & Templates – User can create, edit and delete sets, templates and actions (all items defined for the Cumulus application in the Preferences window – except Catalog Templates and Catalog Settings).
• Administrator – User can perform all administrative tasks and use the according utilities (e.g. User Manager, Backup Manager). The user is also allowed to configure Cumulus Vault, define Scheduler tasks and generate reports.
Permissions for Individual Catalogs
• Read – short for Read Metadata (description see above)
• Write – short for Write Metadata (description see above)
• Delete – short for Delete Records & Categories (description see above)
IMPORTANT! Minimum Permissions In simple view the minimum permissions required for a user to work with Cumulus are: Read for at least one catalog. Or if catalog specific permissions are not required, Global Permission Read Metadata.
TIP: Simple View in Conjunction with Advanced
You can use the simple view in conjunction with the advanced view – make “broad stroke” permissions settings in simple view and then fine tune them exactly as you need in advanced view.
