Platform User Roles

Oxygen Content Fusion supports two distinct user roles that can be configured from the Admin Page - Users Management Tab:
  • Subject Matter Experts (SME) - By default, Content Fusion users are assigned the Subject Matter Expert role. Users with this role can create and manage review tasks in the browser interface or in Oxygen XML Editor/Author and review content in review tasks that other collaborators create. This type of user role utilizes floating licensing model.
  • Content Fusion Authors - This role must be assigned to a user by an administrator. In addition to the features that an SME has access to, users with this role have access to projects and publishing features. They also have access to the AI Positron Assistant that provides various ways to use AI-generated content or suggestions while editing or reviewing content. This type of user role utilizes user-based licensing.

Licensing

Content Fusion licenses define the allocation of these user roles as follows:

  • Content Fusion Author License - This license type is user-based, meaning a specified number of named users can be assigned as Content Fusion Authors.

  • SME License - SME licenses operate on a floating seat model, allowing a set number of concurrent SME users to access the platform. The total number of SMEs can exceed the available seats, but only the defined number can be active at any given time.

Functionalities by Role

Content Fusion Author Capabilities:

  • Access to projects and content creation tools.

  • Ability to edit and manage content.

  • Publishing functionality for finalized content.

  • Review tasks functionality, including:

    • Creating and reviewing tasks.

    • Overview of review tasks for a project.

    • Ability to assign themselves to review tasks within a project.

  • Access to built-in AI Positron functionality when editing project files and reviewing task contributions.

SME Capabilities:

  • Review tasks functionality, including:

    • Creating and reviewing tasks.

    • Providing comments and feedback on content.

  • No access to project management or publishing features. SMEs can create content but not directly in projects.

Note:
Both Content Fusion Authors and SMEs have access to review tasks, including the ability to create and participate in reviews. However, Content Fusion Authors have additional advantages in managing review tasks within a project and utilizing AI-powered assistance. All users, regardless of their role, can create review tasks from the Oxygen XML Author/Editor product using its Content Fusion Tasks Manager add-on.

By defining these roles clearly, organizations can ensure appropriate access and collaboration within Content Fusion, optimizing content creation and review workflows.
