Managing spaces
A space in Alfresco is nothing but a folder that contains content as well as sub spaces. The 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 that a given user has within a space is a function of their role, or rights.
Let's consider the capability of creating a sub-space. By default, in order 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 to Chapter 4.
