Everyone using CommonSpot to contribute to the Web site is assigned a particular role (either by the site administrator or by a departmental administrator). Your role determines the permissions you receive and your level of access to specific CommonSpot features.
Permissions may be defined globally, at the site level, or more locally at the page or element level. CommonSpot presents menus, dialogs, and an intuitive user interface tailored to the permissions of the current user. The tools you see pertain only to activities you are authorized to carry out.
