Roles Available when Granting Access
Default Role
Each user can have a default role defined in their user settings. (A default role is optional.)
When defining access, if you choose the user’s default role (which is the automatically selected option), then this access will change along with the default role of the user: that is, if someone modifies the default role of the user, this access definition will automatically be modified accordingly.
If a group is granted access using the default role, then each group member brings his/her own default role.
Generic Roles
Generic roles are listed on the Roles page. They can be used anywhere for any content items. If a generic role changes, then all accesses granted using this role will be updated, and the permissions change accordingly.
Sometimes it is easier to grant certain permissions locally to someone for a content item, without saving this permission set as a new generic role. In this case, when granting Access, select Custom from the pop-up, then click Save.
The permissions page will automatically open and you will be able to pick the necessary permissions as part of a custom role for the selected user/group. Click Save to store your changes.
