Roles (OrchardCore.Roles)

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

Predefined Roles

Orchard Core defines the following predefined permission stereotypes:

Name	Description
Administrator	A system role that grants all permissions to the assigned users.
Anonymous	A system role representing all non-authenticated users.
Authenticated	A system role representing all authenticated users.
Author	Grants users the ability to create content.
Contributor	Grants users the ability to contribute content.
Editor	Grants users the ability to edit existing content.
Moderator	Grants users the ability to moderate content.

Note

System roles cannot be deleted, and the Administrator role cannot be edited.

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",
            "Description" "Journalist Role",
            "Permissions": ["PublishContent", "EditContent"]
        },
        {
            "Name": "Subscriber",
            "Description" "Subscriber Role",
            "Permissions": []
        }
    ]
}
