Entity role permissions

Permission that come from Entity roles only affect resources within that entity. For example, the default for the Editor role is to have the Low permission level for Reviews. This means that an Editor in a CRG is allowed to read published versions of reviews within that one CRG.

Note: Menu items that user does not have permission to use are disabled.       

The following permission levels can be assigned to an Entity role:
