Teamspace security roles vs. enterprise security

System administrators can customize teamspace security by defining different permissions for existing roles, and by creating new roles. System administrators can also change the enterprise security settings to customize the default security behavior for all teamspaces.

Teamspace security roles

By default, TCM provides three security roles: Teamspace Administrators, Teamspace Members and Teamspace Guests. The creator of a teamspace adds members to a teamspace and assigns a role to each of those users, but they cannot modify the rights granted by the role.

Each role is defined by a set of rules that determine what the users with that role can and cannot do within a teamspace. The same user may have different roles in different teamspaces, if desired. A system administrator can modify the security privileges for each of the roles, and can also add and configure new roles.
