What rights are associated with Connect built-in permission groups?

Posted on September 28, 2016September 28, 2016 by ianjustingetconnect

The following link (and pasted content) outlines the permissions that are assigned by the built-in permission groups in Connect.

This is kindof hidden in the documentation but good to know.

Built‑in permission groups

Adobe Connect has eight built-in permission groups, each associated with a different library. Each member of a Built-in group has a user folder in the corresponding library. Each member of the Meeting Hosts and Training Managers groups also has a user folder in the Content library, and can author content for that folder.

You cannot change the permissions for these groups, but you can extend them by assigning individuals or groups to more than one built-in group. In addition, the administrator can create custom groups and assign these groups permissions for specific library folders.

There are eight built-in groups:

  • Administrators
  • Limited Administrators
  • Meeting Hosts
  • Training Managers
  • Virtual Classroom Managers
  • Seminar Administrators.
  • Event Managers
  • Webinar Managers
  • Event Administrators
  • Authors
  • Learners

Each group reflects a specific set of access needs across all the libraries. There are groups for each purchased account feature. For example, the Event Manager group only exists if the Events feature is part of the account.

Administrators assign users and groups to the appropriate Built-in groups. Members of a Built-in group can create instances of the function associated with that library. For example, if you are a meeting host, you can create meetings.

Members of a Built-in group cannot access the Shared folder directory of the library of the group unless you assign them Manage permissions. You can also assign Manage permissions for a folder in the Shared folder directory to other users who are not part of that Built-in group. Although they can manage folders, they cannot create anything in that library, because they are not part of that Built-in group.

The following table summarizes the permissions each Built-in group has for each library:
