Configuring administrative permissions

Administrative permissions apply to the entire Meridian Enterprise Server configuration. By default, only members of the local Administrators group on the Meridian Enterprise Server computer and users who are logged on to the server are allowed to modify the configuration. You can grant additional permissions to particular BlueCielo groups to perform specific administrative tasks.

User permissions to individual Meridian Explorer repositories are described in Configuring repository security. User permissions to publish documents and edit rendition properties are described in Security privilege descriptions .

The available roles are described in the following table.
