Understanding CP access rights

What is the difference between IEC official roles and Collaboration Platform (CP) roles?

The roles of the IEC are governance roles; they are given in an official capacity to determine a hierarchy. The roles of CP are application usage roles. By respecting rules that match official roles with application roles, CP allows certain users to use certain functionalities (as described below).

What are the roles of the CP?

There are three roles in CP:

In tool display	Description
Reader	Allows to users to view and download documents.
Author	Allows to users to upload documents, create discussions, and also to manage their own content.
Editor	Allows to users to manage ALL content in a workspace.

Where are the roles managed?

The roles have been defined in our Experts Management System application.
If you want to have access rights to workspaces, you must contact your NC.
