- Title is the name of the privilege. Title is compulsory.
- Description is used to remind you what the privilege is for. For example, when the administrator creates a new privilege, he or she would use the description to explain what the privilege does and how it should be used.
- When the privilege is set to Active (that is, active is checked), users with this privilege can log in. If it is not set, then users with this privilege cannot log in. Thus, with one click you can prevent all users with a specific privilege from logging in.
- You can control the privileges for each module in KBPublisher separately. This means you can give access just to one area only if you wish. For example, you may allow access to the knowledgebase, but not to Files, Feedback, Users, Settings or Import/Export. Or you may have hired a contractor to import a list of users for you, and you give them access to the Import/Export section only, but not to other areas of the knowledgebase.
- Or you can apply privileges to each sub-module.
- Most of the privileges are self-explanatory.

- When Update is checked they can change existing ones. If own records is also checked, they can only update records they have created. Otherwise they can update any record.

- When Delete is checked the user can delete items. If own records is also checked, they can only delete records they have created. Otherwise they can delete any record. Belongs to own records means that the user can delete comments for items that are designated as their own.
If one or more statuses are selected under If status, then the user can only delete articles with the assigned status(es).
