Implications
•What kinds of actions and
behavior can you control using
roles and permissions?

Scenarios
1. A colleague comes to you complaining that she can’t access a
particular page on the website. Where would you start to
troubleshoot?
2. This same pesky colleague notices there is outdated
information in a block you created. You tell her to go ahead
and make the updates. She comes back to you and says she
doesn’t see the “Edit” link on a block she needs to edit. What
might be causing the problem?
