7.5. Assigning Permissions to a Role for Drupal 8, 9, and 10

Goal

Change the permissions for the Vendor role so that users can create, edit, and delete Recipe and Vendor content, format the content, and contact each other.

Site prerequisites

The Vendor role must exist on your site. See Section 7.3, “Creating a Role”.

Steps

  1. In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to People > Roles (admin/people/roles). The Roles page appears.
  2. Click Edit permissions in the dropdown for the Vendor role. The Edit role page appears where you can see all the available actions for the website such as, for example, Post comments or Administer blocks. The available permissions depend on the modules that are installed in the site. Note: Some permissions may have security implications. Be cautious while assigning permissions to roles.
