Permissions
DailyStory supports a robust permissions model used to control what users can do on the platform. An administrator of the account can create different permissions with limited access to certain features.
WarningImportant - enabling permissions has immediate impact to users. We recommend approaching permissions with a plan for who should and should not have access.
Read before turning on permissions
By default, permissions are "off'. With no permissions enabled, all users have full administrative rights.
When a permission is created, permissions are "on". When permissions are on, only the account owner has full administrative rights. All other user are given no rights unless that are granted.
Permissions are granted by setting what the permissions abilitiy is and adding users.
Create a permission
To add a permission, which will also enable permissions, click the Add Permission button, and name the permission.
Grant rights and add users
Once you create the permission, select the abilities granted and then add users.
Manage permissions
To edit the name, abilities, and users associated with it, just click on the Permission Name from the Manage Permissions page.

Frequently Asked Questions
A user is in two roles, which role grants their permissions?
DailyStory is designed to grant the highest level of permission given by the roles a user belongs to. If a user is in multiple roles and the first role does not grant a permission, e.g. CampaignCanManage, but the second role does grant it, the user is given CampaignCanManage permission.
Does the name of the role matter for permissions?
No, but we recommend using names such as "Administrator" or "Content Editors" to help indicate what the role is used for.
Are roles available for API calls?
No, all API calls have full permission to perform all actions in DailyStory available through the API.
Can I have two roles with the same name?
No, you are not allowed to have two roles with the same name.
A role's permission was changed, when will it apply to the users?
Permissions are granted per session. Therefore, changes in a role's permissions are applied the next time the user logs in.
I changed permissions and locked myself out of the site
Contact your site owner, they will need to log in and add your account to an appropriate role to grant you the permissions you need.
