What are the Different Types of Users?

Admin users are authorized users on your account. They can:

• Post and update content
• Delete/reorganize content
• Manage users, groups and custom templates.

Admins can access all content in your ScreenSteps Live account.

Editor users are authorized users on your account. Before an Editor can do anything they must be assigned to one or more spaces.

Once an Editor is assigned to a space they can:
• Create manuals in a space.
• Publish manuals in a space.
• Publish lessons to manuals in a space.

They can not manage users, groups or custom templates.

Author users are authorized users on your account. Before an Author can do anything they must be assigned to one or more spaces. They can also be assigned to manuals inside of that space.

If an Author is just assigned to a space they will be able to post a new manual to that space. The manual and lessons in it will all be published as drafts. Authors can not change the draft status of a lesson.

Once an Author is assigned to a manual they can:

• Update lessons in the assigned manuals.
• Add new lessons to the assigned manuals.

Reader users can be granted access to protected Spaces. They do not have access to the admin area and cannot alter content on your ScreenSteps Live account.

An API Access user functions the same as reader users with two significant differences:

1. When a user is logged in as an API Access user they can't change their password or access their profile settings.
2. API Access users have no email address associated with them.

Use API Access users whenever you are granting a group of people access to a space with a single login. Some examples might be embedding login credentials in urls or embedding a ScreenSteps Live iframe in a page.
