NSB user administrators managing permissions for OSD national via OSD Tools
Overview
NSB administrators can use the OSD Tools permission matrix to manage which features and functions are available to users based on their OSD roles. Permissions can be enabled or disabled to match the NSB’s working practices.
For National OSD, user access is determined by the roles assigned in the Global Directory together with the permissions configured in OSD Tools.
National OSD introduces:
- Two new roles: National Editorial Team and National Publication Team
- A new permission: Mark content in adoption.
To configure OSD permissions, access OSD Tools:
- Open an OSD document.
- From the Tools menu, select Other actions.
-
From the Admin menu, select OSD Tools.
Please note:
Please watch this video guide for more information on how to: Manage NSB OSD Permissions
