Sequence for your initial setup

If you are setting up OSD for the first time, follow these steps in the sequence 1-4 below. Each step depends on the previous one.

Step

What to do

Why

1

Create permission presets

Presets define what a role can and cannot do in the editor. You need them before you can configure stages.

2

Set up permission assignments (stages)

Stages represent the workflow steps in your standards process. Each stage links roles to presets.

3

Configure role priorities

When a user has more than one role, the priority list determines which role is active by default.

4

Create user accounts

Users can only be added once presets and stages are in place, so their roles and permissions are correctly assigned from day one.
