Profile Capabilities

A capability exists within a profile and defines the actions users can perform in Studio.

All capabilities are disabled by default. If enabled, you can assign an access level and a view level.

  • Access level: Defines whether the user can view content or change content.
  • View level: Defines whether the user can view a limited amount of content or all content.

The following table explains access levels and view levels for capabilities.

Level Value Description
Access Read Can view content.
Access Write Can view and update content.
Access No Access Cannot view content.
View Simple Can view limited predefined aspects of objects such as basic information.
View Certified Can view and edit most customizable and configurable aspects in Studio.
View Detailed Can view all customizable and configurable aspects of objects.
View No Access Cannot view content.

Note: If access level is disabled, view level is always "No Access".
