Rolesmail_outline

Roles within Lytho DAM define what a user may or may not do based on the rules selected and left unselected for each role type. For example, rules can give a user the ability to add and edit assets, but not delete assets. Roles are mandatory for every user, so creating roles is a required first step before adding new users.

Creating Roles

Navigate to your User Settings sub-navigation in Settings and select Roles above your user list. 

Click the + Add button in the upper right corner to begin creating a new role. 

Create a name for your role and select the rules that you want your role to have access to. The rules are divided among five tabs, be sure to go through each tab. Select Save when complete. 

At any time you can edit a role by clicking the actions menu to the right of the role and selecting Edit.
