Jahia permissions are powerful and give a lot of flexibility to help your organization manage what users can do when editing content. Content Editor is controlled by several kind of permissions:
These permissions are defined in Administration>Server>User and Roles>Roles and permissions. Then you select the role you want to edit in Permissions on current node.
Keep in mind that in Jahia, most permissions are not directly associated with users or a group.
In the example below, Kaeli belongs to the HR group. The HR group has the Basic Editor role for the Careers section of the ACME Corp site. Several permissions, described in this topic, are added to the Basic Editor role.
Before configuring Content Editor permissions, ensure that your users can access Page Composer or jContent so they can open the content they want to edit. For example, the Permission on current site>J content>J content access permission gives the role access to jContent.
To give read or write access to specific content with Content Editor, you must allow the Read or Write permissions. These permissions are found in Permissions on current node>All basic permissions, as shown in the following image.
You can apply permission that allow or deny access to functionality by language that a user access content in.

Content Editor form is divided into several sections, for example Categories or Metadata. You can use permissions to show or hide a section for a role.

Content Editor has two tabs: Edit and Advanced options. A user requires the Can see advanced options tab permission to see the Advanced options tab. You can find this permission in Permissions on current node>Other permissions and under Content Editor.
Access to each advanced option can be controlled separately.

By default, the Can see advanced options permission is granted to the following roles:
When creating new content in Page Composer or jContent, users must choose a content type. The list of available content types is often controlled by the template of the page where they are adding content. You can also use permissions to filter the list of available content types.
To sett permissions on content types:
To publish content from Content Editor, users require the Publish permission that can be found in Permissions on current node>Basic permission>Publish. This permission allows users to publish without using any validation workflow.
To request a publication using workflows, users require the Publication start permission that can be found in Permissions on current node>Workflow tasks>Publication start.
