      Contributor Permission Overview

      Learn what Contributors in Trainual can and cannot do within the platform.

      Contributor

      This permission allows a user to participate in the creation of content without the ability to publish it. The Contributor permission is ideal for subject matter experts who simply contribute content.

       

      A Contributor can:

      • Edit subjects that have been assigned to them, including Trainual templates.

      • Change topic status to "Pending Review."

      • Access the Home page.

      A Contributor cannot:

      • Create new subjects.

      • Add templates from the Trainual template index page.

      • Publish or assign subjects.

      • Edit subjects that have yet to be assigned to them.

      • Move or reorganize subjects between companies, policies, and processes.

      🔥 Tip: Be sure to double-check that the subject content access given also matches the permissions and responsibilities you are looking to grant these teammates.

      Editing Content

      If a Contributor edits an already "Finished" topic, the status will not automatically convert to "Draft" or "Pending Review." The Contributor will manually need to update the status.

      If a Contributor creates a new Topic in an existing Subject, they will only be able to choose between "Draft" or "Pending Review" for the topic status.
