Roles (OrchardCore.Roles)

Enabling the OrchardCore.Roles module will allow you to manage the user roles.

Predefined Roles

Orchard Core come up with the following predefined permission stereotypes:

Name	Description
Administrator	Contains all the administrator users.
Anonymous	Contains all the non authenticated users.
Authenticated	Contains all the authenticated users.
Author	Contains all the users who have the ability to author contents.
Contributor	Contains all the users who have the ability to contribute to the contents.
Editor	Contains all the users who have the ability to edit the contents.
Moderator	Contains all the users who have the ability to moderate the contents.

Roles Configuration

Roles can be created and configured through the roles menu in the admin dashboard, but also through a recipe step. Note that roles for features are not predefined. They are created out of predefined permission stereotypes.

A sample of a roles configuration step:

{
    "name": "roles",
    "Roles": [
        {
            "Name": "Journalist",
            "Permissions": [ "PublishContent", "EditContent" ]
        },
        {
            "Name": "Subscriber",
            "Permissions": [ ]
        },
    ]
}
