It is recommended that every folder in your website have at least one Manager. That is, the role of Manager should be assigned to at least one person or administrative group for every folder. You may want to designate a Manager at the root-folder level for your entire website, or different Managers for different folders.
A Manager has the same permissions as an Author, mostly related to creating content. In addition, a Manager can:
- perform folder administration such as defining folder properties, navigation, and permissions (assigning roles).
- assign administrative and non-administrative roles for the folder(s) where she is a Manager. A Manager can also assign herself or another Manager in that folder as a Folder Reviewer.
- copy, move, and expire Live documents. (A copy is created as a Draft.)
- review and publish folder content submitted to the standard publication process; route submitted items to a custom work flow; return items for revision; instantly publish any content items that he or she creates within that folder.
- moderate Comments submitted from pages in the folder.
A Manager whose role is revoked for a given folder also loses the ability to act as Moderator for Comments associated with the folder.
