Permissions within Plato control access to functionality and not content. For example you can use permissions to control who can create, edit or delete content. Permissions within Plato cannot be created. Instead permissions within Plato are provided dynamically through our provider model based on the modules you have enabled within your Plato installation.

All available permissions are presented when editing each role within Plato as shown below...

Modules within Plato can implement the IPermissionsProvider interface which offers a way for modules to expose additional permissions to Plato. Any permissions exposed by modules will be available when editing roles within Plato.

Controlling access to content

If your looking to restrict access to specific content please see access control.
