Drupal Starter Kits

User management with roles and permissions

Drupal Starter Kits includes a number of roles that provide users with different levels of permissions. For information about permissions that make up each role, click Manage > People > Permissions in the Drupal Starter Kits user interface.

Important

Roles are intentionally designed so that you can apply multiple roles to new users to provide them with the permissions they require. For example, you create the Content Author and Content Editor roles for a new user who requires permissions to both create and publish content.
