Viewer Role |
Select a default viewer for newly added content. The choice of viewer roles is based on the list constructed on the Define Viewer Roles page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Folder Security page: News Publications feature. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
A new section automatically inherits the members and privileges of its parent news publication. However, privileges added later are not automatically transferred down the folder hierarchy and must be updated on a folder-by-folder basis. To assist with this process, an Inherit Members button appears when you view folder security for any subfolder, enabling you to quickly duplicate the same members as assigned to the parent folder.
Note: A top administrator is automatically granted all privileges for all content and folders of the feature without being an explicitly assigned or listed member of a folder.

Description |

Member Privileges |
Displays type, name, and privilege sets for the members of the folder. Privileges specify the actions that a member can perform on the folder and the content contained in the folder. Note: A viewer member privilege defined in the Member Privileges section of the page is not equivalent to a viewer role defined in the Viewer Roles section of the page, even if the same role ID is used. In the case of the former, a viewer member privilege allows that member to view the folder and all of its contents (in draft, pending, or published states) through the folder hierarchy. The latter allows users with that role to view only published content and only through the Browse by Category page. |
