    Users & Roles
    When you’re finished with planning the users’ roles, the hard work is already done. Now it’s time to move your designed roles into Kontent.ai.
    After going through the strategic phase of planning and designing the users' roles and permissions, you should have a table ready that reflects what you have strategized. Such a table might look like the example below where it consists of users' roles and what they can and cannot do:
    RoleCan doCannot do
    Team managerView, edit, create, and delete all content itemsDelete, create, edit, and view metadata and navigation items
    DevelopersView, edit, create, and delete all navigation items
    Now's the time to create all the roles in Kontent.ai. Go through the created table one row at a time, and create roles based on them. While doing so, consider using content groups as well. Content groups allow you to combine related content elements and allow specific users to work on those elements only. This can make it even easier for your users to work on content while preventing them from changing something beyond their limitations.
    What's next?
    Set up permissions
    Providing the proper permissions to the right people is always tricky because of many different aspects and operations. Should this role access that type of content and its content groups? And should that role be allowed to edit this content?This lesson will show you what Kontent.ai can restrict and where you can set up the permissions for your content groups.
