Purple Manager: Overview of roles & rights
Purple Manager
Purple Manager comes with several key roles that should suit your publishing needs.
Member is the Purple Manager role that a user has when they are invited to join a team without being assigned a role. Such a user will be able to see the team's apps and publications in Purple Manager, but will not be able to edit anything. These are the same rights that a Hub Editor automatically has in Purple Manager.
In this Purple Manager role, a user can manage all publications assigned to him/her, e.g. create new issues or publish issues in the Live App.
In Purple Manager → Teams → Members → Roles, an Account admin can specify whether the user is allowed to
- manage a selection of publications (“Yes (selection)"), or
- is not an editor (“No”), or
- whether he or she is allowed to manage all publications (“All publications”).
The Hub Editor role is created in Purple Manager and can also be used in the Purple Hub. This means that a user with this role can log in to the corresponding Purple Hub automatically. This role is intended to be used for Hub Users who mainly work in the Purple Hub and don't need to be able to make changes in Purple Manager.
- By default, the role when logging in to the corresponding Purple Hub will be Purple Editor.
- The role in Purple Manager will be able to see apps and publications belonging to the team in Purple Manager, but will not be able to edit anything. It behaves like the Member role in Purple Manager.
This role will be available in Purple Manager from 18 November. The role will be available in the Purple Hub a week later, on 25 November. This means that between the 18th and 25th of November you can only assign the role in Purple Manager, but it won't be active in Purple Hub until the 25th of November due to the release availability of our Purple platform.
The permissions of this Purple Manager role are focussed on all tasks that serve to configure and build apps. As App Admin, the user is allowed to edit apps, which means they can edit all tabs of the 'App Tab Control', including sharing, subscriptions, etc. In this role, a user can also manage all apps assigned to them, e.g. they can send push messages or create new publications.
In Purple Manager → Teams → Members → Roles, an Account admin can specify whether the App Admin is allowed to
- manage a selection of apps (“Yes (selection)”),
- whether he is not an app admin (“No”), or
- whether he is allowed to manage all apps (“All apps”).
The role of an Account Admin contains all capabilities that an App Manager and an Editor have, which means it give the user the most extensive rights. He has the ability to create new apps, invite other members and make changes to the rights of other team members. This role also includes all the rights of App Admin and Editor.
As the menu items in the Purple Manager sidebar are not connected to apps or publications, only Account Admins have access to these settings. Similarly, only account admins can manage team settings, including inviting new users to the team and granting them permissions to manage apps and publications.
This role is not currently allowed to delete users. If you wish to delete a user, please open a ticket with the Support Helpdesk and we will be happy to assist you.
