Author | Can create and edit objects. Can initialize Reviews and conduct editorial tasks in Reviews. |
Reviewer | Can participate in a Review as a Reviewer only (cannot edit). |

Folder action options
Permission | Action | Additional information |
Create object | Create objects of the specified type in this folder. There can be more than one type allowed in each folder, and each is specified separately. This permission is primarily designed for you to control which types of object are created in a particular folder. You can combine objects and object templates in the same folder. However, this is not recommended, because you are most likely to want to restrict what people do with object templates. | |
Create object template | Create object templates of the specified type in this folder. There can be more than one type allowed in each folder, and each is specified separately. This permission is primarily designed for you to control which types of object template are created in a particular folder. You can combine objects and object templates in the same folder. However, this is not recommended, because you are most likely to want to restrict what people do with object templates. | |
List objects | View a list of the objects of any type contained in this folder. Permission to read any of the objects is specified separately. If the user does not have permission to read objects in a particular folder, then:
| If you remove this permission from a user, then these permissions are also removed: modify, publish, delete, version, release. |
Read objects | Open and read the contents of objects of any type in this folder. | If you remove this permission from a user, then these permissions are also removed: modify, publish, delete, version, release. |
Publish objects | Publish Books from this folder, in any output format. If the user does not have permission to publish books from a particular folder, then those books do not appear in the list in the Publishing console. | If you add this permission to a user, then permission to List objects and Read objects is also added automatically. |
Modify objects | Modify objects of any type in this folder. If the user does not have permission to modify objects in a particular folder, then objects can be opened but are in a "Read-Only" state. | If you add this permission to a user, then permission to List objects and Read objects is also added automatically. |
Delete objects | Delete objects of any type from this folder. Note: This permission is required before the user can move objects from this folder into another folder. The user would also need permission to create objects of that type in the destination folder. | If you add this permission to a user, then permission to List objects and Read objects is also added automatically. |
Change release states | Change the release state of objects of any type in this folder. | If you add this permission to a user, then permission to list objects and read objects is also added automatically. |
Change version | Change the version of objects of any type in this folder. | If you add this permission to a user, then permission to list objects and read objects is also added automatically. |
Change permissions | Change the folder action permissions that apply to objects of any type in this folder. This permission is defined separately from the "Security Administration" permission so that you can have users who have permission to modify folder actions but not to modify details of users and groups. | |
Modify folder | Change the folder's name and create subfolders. |
