Assigning content forms to a role
Assigning a content form to a role makes that form the default for that role for that content type. Referring to the illustration in Content edit form hierarchy, when you assign a three-field content form to the role Contributor, all users with that role see that content form when working on articles.
To assign a content form to a role or role-site combination:
- Click > Admin > Users & Roles.
- In the Roles widget, select the role to which you want to assign the form.
- See the widget below for more details on assigning content forms to roles.
