There are two groups in IDM

1. Product Administrator

1. Carbon Editor

2. Ubiquity Dashboard

This means the user is only able to access Carbon Editor and Ubiquity Dashboard from IDM. Content creators and editors are recommended to be given a product admin access for security and auditing purposes.

If a user has a site administrator group then they get access to entirety of IDM

1. Carbon Editor

2. Ubiquity Dashboard

3. User Management
