Roles and permissions
DraftView uses org roles and per-item permission caps.
Org roles
| Role | Can view | Can comment | Can edit | Can curate queue | Can sign off | Can manage org |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Viewer | Yes | No | No | No | No | No |
| Commenter | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| Editor | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| Maintainer | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Admin | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
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
