Permission
Description
Login
If login is allowed, the user is (or group members are) allowed to log in to Traction. For users defined in external directories, a Traction profile is created for each user the first time that user logs in.
If login is denied, the named user or group will not be allowed to login.
This permission should be granted to everyone that you want to have access to a Traction profile and not granted or denied to everyone else.
Server Setup
Controls who is allowed to access the Server Setup views.
Should only be granted to the people responsible for maintaining your Traction installation.
Edit Stylesheets
Governs access to Traction's built-in stylesheet editor, which allows users to customize the color scheme and layout of the default Ocean skin.
This permission should generally be granted to Everyone, except in cases where you want to prevent users from customizing stylesheets.
Modify /pub Folder
Controls who is allowed to add, remove, or change files stored in Traction's /pub folder. The contents of the /pub folder are visible to everyone without requiring login, but only users with this permission can control its contents.
Should only be granted to the people responsible for maintaining your Traction installation, and people with an established need to post non-permissioned content (for example, Flash or Quicktime movies referred to in Traction articles) for the general public.
Modify System Folders
System Folders refer to folders where Traction's configuration files are stored. By enabling users to modify these folders, certain configuration changes, such as uploading skin files, can be accomplished remotely.
Should only be granted to the people responsible for maintaining your Traction installation.
Modify Account
If allowed, user is allowed to edit preferences and other account settings. Otherwise, the My Account link does not appear and access to the pages are not granted.
This permission should generally be granted to Everyone.
Access Address Book
Governs access to functions that may disclose a list of users. If allowed, the covered users will be able to access the following functions:
Visibility, which shows what users can read a given article once it has been posted.
Email Address Completion; Traction's outgoing mail forms do completion against Traction's built-in users and against users with email addresses listed in Active Directory. Email address completion is also enabled on the Advanced Search form.
We recommend that this permission be granted to internal users, but not to Visitor or guests (like customers) in order to prevent disclosure of email addresses.
Send Diagnostic Feedback
Controls what information is included in the feedback form that appears at the bottom of the page or when an error is encountered.
If allowed, Full feedback is sent. Otherwise, only Brief feedback is sent. Click the permission name to see an example of Full and Brief details.
For private applications, we recommend that this permission be granted to Everyone. For applications where Traction serves the general internet community, we recommend denying Visitor this permission, in order to prevent hackers from determining the type and version of your host operating system.
Email Out
Controls who is allowed to email articles out of Traction using the Email Articles feature. Note that, naturally, there is no way to prevent users from copying content from Traction into their email clients.
Export
Controls who is allowed to export article content to PDF, WordML, etc. using the Export Articles feature.
