Roles
User domain roles
A user domain role, or just role for brevity, defines what actions a user can perform on Comentario with respect to a specific domain. For example, a user can be an Owner in one domain, but a Commenter in another.
Roles can be assigned in the Domain users section of the Administration UI by domain owners or superusers.
Comentario recognises the following roles.
Owner
The Owner role allows a user to fully manage the domain:
- Edit domain properties and configuration (such as authentication and moderation options);
- Perform domain-wide actions (such as importing and exporting comments);
- Delete the domain;
- Manage and moderate domain-specific content (such as pages and comments);
- Manage domain users (including assigning roles) and see their email addresses.
- View domain statistics.
Moderator
The Moderator role allows a user to moderate all comments in the domain: approve, reject, edit, and delete them.
Moderators cannot see other users’ email addresses, only names.
Commenter
The Commenter role allows a user to leave comments on domain pages, and edit or delete own comments.
This is the default role for new users registering on a page with comments.
Read-only
The Read-only role allows a user to read comments, but not to write them. This role is mostly intended for keeping naughty commenters at bay.
