Permissions

There are multiple permissions levels in Drupal 6, with each one having different access to edit site content and layout. Roles can be added and changed at any time by adminstrators, but this access can be granted to others by the administrator as well. The default roles are:

• Anonymous Users are visitors to your site that are not registered to your site or logged in; this is the general role that everyone who navigates to your site will have.
• Authenticated Users are any users that are registered on your site. This means all of the following roles can be considered authenticated users.
• Authors can create, edit, and publish all default content types, as well as administer menus, taxonomies, and some layout elements. Authors can use the Full-HTML input format, embed videos, images and CSS into individual pages, and can also enable / disable default blocks.
• Advanced Authors have the above permissions, but can also create custom content types (CCK), administer data queries and displays (views), define and edit input filters, change glossaries, and use the PHP code input format.
• Administrators have all of the above permissions, but can also change site settings and manage users for the site. This role would be for someone who is in charge of managing the users on a site, and may or may not work in a programming / site structure capacity.
