DraftView uses org roles and per-item permission caps.

Item permission caps

Each queue item has one cap:

  • View only
  • Comment only
  • Edit

Effective permission is the lower of role capability and item cap.

Examples:

  • An Editor on a Comment only item can comment but cannot edit.
  • A Maintainer on a View only item can only view that item.

Legacy naming

If you used older docs, role names mapped as follows:

  • Owner maps to Admin
  • Approver maps to Maintainer
  • Reviewer maps to Editor
