Roles and permissions reference (legacy)

Definitions​

Assets are any permission-based object where activity can be tracked and audited. Folders, templates, campaigns, and shared content are considered Assets. Each one of those items can have different permissions applied to them, which allows administrators to control which users or groups of users should have different levels of access.

Application Roles are applied at the User level, and define the general level of access for an individual User in Accelerator. A User's Roles will affect the visibility of icons in the top navigation bar while logged into Accelerator as that User.

Users will only have the maximum level of access granted by their Role. For example, a User may be in a Group with Execute Permission on Campaigns, but if the User does not have the Campaign Admin Role, they will not be able to access any Campaigns.

Permissions are applied at the Application Group level, and can vary from Asset to Asset within Accelerator.
