List management roles

In addition to the standard Favorites List permissions that are available for all list authors, there are list management roles that provide permissions to perform additional actions.

Role Actions you can carry out
All users
  • Create, edit, and delete your own personal lists
  • Request publication of a personal list that you created
  • Revise a published list that you created, and request re-publication
  • Request withdrawal of a published list that you created
  • Edit, delete, or request re-publication of a withdrawn list that you created
  • Cancel publication and withdrawal requests that you have made
List Publisher
  • Approve or reject publication requests
  • Approve or reject withdrawal requests
List Curator
  • Revise any published list (add and remove records, or edit the list name, description, or notes)
  • Request re-publication of revised lists
  • Cancel publication requests that you have made
List Administrator
  • Revise any published list (add and remove records, or edit the list name, description, or notes)
  • Request re-publication of revised lists
  • Request withdrawal of published lists
  • Edit the details (name, description, notes) of withdrawn lists.
    Note: List Administrators cannot add or remove records in withdrawn lists
  • Request re-publication of withdrawn lists
  • Delete withdrawn lists
  • Cancel publication and withdrawal requests that you have made

The Favorites List management roles are mapped to Windows Active Directory Groups or User Manager MI Roles in the MI Settings application. Users who are members of the relevant group or role will then have the privileges listed above. The same person can have more than one of these roles.

Important: In an access-controlled database, you can view all published lists, but can only see the records that you have permission to access. Therefore, when configuring list management roles, Granta MI administrators must ensure that users with the List Curator and List Publisher roles are able to see all of the records in the lists they need to revise, or approve and publish.
