Proof Permissions Profiles in Workfront Proof
As a Workfront administrator or Workfront Proof administrator, you can assign a Proof Permissions Profile to a user to specify the proofing capabilities that user will have for all proofs in the system. For information about configuring a user’s Proof Permission Profile, see Configure a user’s Proof Permission Profile in Workfront Proof.
- Grant users specific roles on individual proofs. For more information about proof roles, see Manage Proof Roles in Workfront Proof.
- Create custom profiles for users in your organization. For more information, see Configure custom profiles in Workfront Proof.
The following table displays the permissions available with each Proof Permissions Profile.
Consider the following about roles and permissions:
- Assigned profile permissions relate only to the users and items in your own account. The exception is in the case of Satellite accounts, where the Administrator and Billing Administrator for the main (hub) accounts can access and manage the account settings and billing of those accounts from the hub account level.
- Billing Administrators and Administrators can delete users. This can only be done in Account settings.
- When Billing Administrators and Administrators view proofs that are owned by other users in their account, they view them with the role of a Reviewer.
- Using the Read Only role, Billing Administrators and Administrators can access proofs in folders shared with them or in folders created by them.
The following sections describe each profile and the permissions associated with the profile in a standard Workfront Proof setup:
