Where can I configure logon permissions to a user group for Content Manager in Knowledge Center 2016?

Question

Hi, 
 
 I am trying to figure how to configure reviewer-only role for Create/Reach (aka Content Delivery). I created a new user group/ user role and test user. However, the test user is not allowed to log in. I guess I must configure permissions somewhere, but I can't find it the Content Manager UI. I would very much appreciate your help or a link to some doc about this option. Looked in official doc, but I only see the problem described without actually steps how to configure logon permissions. 
 
 Thank you!

Hi Illiana, 
 
I presumse you get authenticated (like in username and password combination are valid). And this question is mostly about authorization. 
 
For the Content Manager interface the top row tabs like 'Inbox', 'Repository', etc have server-side configured user roles (see \XSL\MainMenuBar.xml). So if your user profile and the server-side have a mismatch you might see nothing. 
 
For the Review and Collaboration part, the incoming claims set needs to find a match in the server-side configuration (seeLiveContentGroups.xml) 
 
Later when you press 'Edit' in to launch the Create Content Editor, the user needs to comply with the Content Manager rules to allow editing (like have user group match, having a status transition available, etc) 
 
I hope this helps, 
Dave

Hi Dave, 
 
Thank you for your response! 
 
As an admin, I expected to be able to use a UI-based configuration to configure authorization and to create custom roles. At least this was my assumption reading the doc. 
 
In my company, another team is responsible for non-UI configuration of the server nodes. I will forward them your answer. 
 
Best regards, 
Iliana
