Managing spaces

A space in Alfresco is nothing but a folder, which contains content as well as sub-spaces. Space users are the users invited to a space to perform specific actions, such as editing content, adding content, discussing a particular document, and so on. The exact capability a given user has within a space is a function of their role or rights.

Consider the capability of creating a sub-space. By default, to create a sub-space, one of the following must apply:

• The user is the administrator of the system

• The user has been granted the Contributor role.

• The user has been granted the Coordinator role.

• The user has been granted the Collaborator role.

Similarly, to edit space properties, a user will need to be the administrator or be granted a role that gives them rights to edit the space. These roles include Editor, Collaborator, and Coordinator. For more information about user roles on a space, refer Chapter 4, Implementing Membership and Security.
