Before we start: About roles

Plone has the ability to recognize various user roles. An assigned role (usually one of Anonymous, Member, Reviewer, or Manager, and possibly a few more) determines what the user can see or do on the site:

• Anonymous users generally are not given the ability to add or edit content, and therefore will not see those options when visiting the site.
• When a Member logs in, his or her view of the site will change to include the elements needed to add and edit content, as well as change preferences.
• The role of Reviewer is similar to Member, but with the added responsibility of approving or rejecting new content that has been submitted for publishing.
• Managers can do it all: they are given complete control of the site.
