- create and edit content such as web pages, files, and images.
- submit content for approval and publication to the Web.
- copy Live documents (the copy is created as an unpublished Draft, which the Author may edit and submit for approval).
- be assigned a task in a custom work flow.
An Author cannot:
- publish content to the Web.
- delete or expire (change the Live status of) published items.
- move published items between folders.
- perform administrative tasks such as accessing, managing or editing folder permissions or custom approval work flows.
