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.
There are many ways to look at permissions. You can choose the more secure but less transparent model, where users can access and edit only what they need to do. Alternatively, you can choose a more relaxed setup, where users can generally access and edit more content than they need, but they can also discover more context.Both approaches are somewhat extreme decisions, and the reality will be somewhere in between. However, you won’t likely want to let all users do all actions. Editing and removing content and managing the whole Kontent.ai configuration can cause irreversible damage to your content, so it's worth setting up permissions properly for your organization.In the video snippet below, one of our customers, Colonnade Insurance, shares how they manage roles and permissions based on their needs.
