What is it about? 👀

We are introducing a new user role: Hub Editor. This role is designed for team members who mainly work in the Purple Hub and do not need editing permissions in Purple Manager. In the past, users of the Purple Hub could only be created as App Admins in the Purple Manager, even if they did not need to have this role. This role is ideal for users who focus on creating and managing content in Purple Hub, without needing broader permissions in Purple Manager to customise the app's settings.

How to use it

• The Hub Editor role is set up in Purple Manager and provides automatic login access to the corresponding Purple Hub as a Purple Editor.
• In Purple Manager, Hub Editors can view apps and publications assigned to their team but cannot make changes.
• In Purple Hub, they have full editing capabilities as they got assigned the role of "Purple Editors". This role can be changed at any time in Purple Hub, e.g. to promote them to the "Managing Editor" role

Benefits 🤓

• Role clarity: Provides access tailored to Hub-focused users without unnecessary permissions.
• Simple permissions: It matches the Member role in Purple Manager for viewing content while enabling full editing rights in the Purple Hub.
• Consistency: Ensures the appropriate access is granted for the right tasks.
