Editing User Roles and Privileges (section)

==Creating a role==
To create the role <code>approve-hat</code> you would do the following:
<pre>
$c->{roles}->{"approve-hat"} = [
       "eprint/buffer/view:editor",
       "eprint/buffer/summary:editor",
       "eprint/buffer/details:editor",
       "eprint/buffer/move_archive:editor",
];
</pre>
The privileges listed above means the users given the <code>approve-hat</code> role can see the View, Summary, Details and Move to archive screen as an editor. Note because they cannot edit items [[Standard names |in the buffer]] they can't correct any mistakes they find. However they do have the power to move items to the archive. This means the <code>approve-hat</code> allows a user to see the metadata of an item and if they think it is correct move it to the archive. They cannot return it to the user or edit the metadata themselves.

The quoting around the role name approve-hat is required, eprints will generate an error if the text is simply {approve-hat}.


Tip: Ensure the role is in {roles} not {user_roles}!
