Dashboard Security

In order to be able to access the Dashboard web application, a user must have one of the following roles:

dashboard-administrator

A user with this role has full access to all Dashboard functionality. (Note that the publication administrator is automatically granted this role.)

content-moderator

By default, a user with this role only has access to the Dashboard's Content Moderation functionality.

Both normal editorial users and community users (if the Viz Community Expansion is installed) may log into the Dashboard, as long as they have been assigned one of these roles.

These roles are assigned to users using Web Studio in the usual way. For details, see the Escenic Content Engine Publication Administrator Guide.

Unless you actually need to allow community users to moderate parts of your web site, we recommend disallowing access to the Dashboard web application for non-editorial users.
