Permissions for Publisher Role Activities (RoleManager)

Enabling permissions in RoleManager allows Publisher roles to handle the preparation of submissions for production as well as engaging in other activities, such as using search tools and sending system email. Additional permissions appear on the Publisher RoleManager page when other features are enabled for the publication. Publisher roles have a narrower selection of permissions than Editor roles and are usually assigned to users who have a more limited interaction with the system, such as third-party service providers.
