iAPPS uses Content Manager Users and Groups to control access and permissions.
Every iAPPS site will have CMS users who have varying permissions depending on their role or roles.
See "User Roles and Permissions" for a listing and description of these permissions.
CMS Groups are not required, but are highly recommended because they are very useful in helping you divide up workflow processes or permissions on your site.
CMS Users and Groups are those users who log into and use iAPPS. Website users (visitors to your website) are managed separately.
Remember only a Site Administrator can create groups, although Content Administrators can manage them afterward.
Below is a table of which administrators can perform which tasks:
