Groups

All Drake CMS categories (from v0.3.8) and some category elements are configurable via an access group and an edit group; the access group specifies which group of users can access a resource, while the edit group allows you to specify those users who can modify the resource.

The table below contains general information about the current Drake CMS groups; note that the Default designation can be changed, changing the category access and edit groups (where supported).
