What is it?

The Distributor Role is the first role-based permission feature for Cylindo users, allowing you to limit access to asset creation workflows.

Why it Matters?

Managing user permissions is critical for streamlining workflows and maintaining control over asset management. The Distributor Role helps restrict specific users from accessing asset creation workflows.

This is particularly useful for customers working with:

• Internal Teams: Limit roles like marketing teams to focus on content creation and distribution.

• External Partners: Restrict agencies or integration partners to content creation and usage, preventing access to projects or approval workflows.

How it Works?

1. The management of user roles is done by your organization’s Admin.

   • Note: All current users remain Admins by default on release to ensure no disruption to current workflows.

2. Click the ‘Settings’ button at the top right of your screen.

3. Maneuver from the ‘Settings’ tab to the ‘Users’ tab.

4. Admins can manage existing roles from the user settings.

   • Find the user you wish to update and select the ‘…’ next to their name.

   • Choose ‘Edit user’ and a modal will appear with the new dropdown setting.

   • Switch the user from ‘Admin’ to ‘Distributor’ and save your changes.

   

5. When inviting new users, Admins can now specify the user’s role as Distributor at the time of invitation.
