Predefined administrative privilege sets

IBM® Content Manager provides many predefined administrative privilege sets that define access privileges for most users. Before you create additional privilege sets, check whether the provided privilege sets fit the needs of your content management system.

All predefined privilege sets are also administrative privilege sets. You can view descriptions of predefined administrative privilege sets in the details pane of the system administration client when you expand Authorization in the system administration tree and click Privilege Sets. Administrators can also create new privilege sets by modifying the existing privilege sets to suit their particular needs.

The following table lists the predefined administrative privilege sets in IBM Content Manager and identifies the privileges that belong to each privilege set.
