Permissions & Access

When to Use

Apply this permission matrix when setting up roles for content editors and site builders.

Decision

Role	Permissions
Anonymous	None
Authenticated	None (or use toolbar plus edit mode for public editing)
Content Editor	Edit mode + inline editing + content permissions
Site Builder	All editor permissions + promote blocks + configure LB+
Administrator	All permissions

Pattern

Permission matrix:

Permission	Module	Purpose	Typical Role
use toolbar plus edit mode	navigation_plus	Access Edit Mode toggle	Content editor
configure toolbar plus modes	navigation_plus	Enable/disable modes per bundle	Site admin
administer Navigation + configuration	navigation_plus	Global Plus Suite settings	Site admin
access inline editing	edit_plus	Use the Change tool	Content editor
administer layout builder + configuration	lb_plus	LB+ settings (promoted blocks)	Site admin
promote layout builder + blocks	lb_plus	Configure promoted blocks	Site builder
Standard Layout Builder permissions	core	Create and administer LB	Content editor
Standard media permissions	core	Upload and manage media	Content editor

Minimum permissions for content editors:

- use toolbar plus edit mode
- access inline editing
- create and edit own content (per type)
- administer node display (if managing layouts)
- use media library

Common Mistakes

• Wrong: Granting administer Navigation + configuration to content editors → Right: This allows changing global UI colors and settings; reserve for site admin
• Wrong: Granting use toolbar plus edit mode without access inline editing → Right: Users can enter Edit Mode but can't change anything; grant both together
