Default Permissions and Roles in Drupal
 | Notes on Specific Permissions
- Make online contributions:
If you plan to use CiviContribute and want to allow online contributions, enable this permission. Be sure to assign this permission for the "anonymous" role if you want to allow un-authenticated visitors to make contributions.
- View event info and Register for events:
If you plan to use CiviEvent and want to allow online event registration, enable these permissions. Be sure to assign permissions for the "anonymous" role if you want to allow un-authenticated visitors to view and register for events.
- Profile listings and forms:
If you want to either collect contact information from constituents and/or expose a searchable directory using a profile, you must assign this permission. Be sure to assign this permission for the "anonymous" role if you want to collect contact information from un-authenticated visitors as part of your online contribution pages or during event registration.
- Access all custom data:
You must enable this permission for any role which you want to view or edit custom data fields. EXAMPLE: If your site uses Profile(s) which include custom fields, make sure the role(s) that need to access these Profiles have this permission. Be sure to assign this permission for the "anonymous" user role if you want to collect information using custom profiles with custom fields.
- Access uploaded files:
Enable this permission for any role which you want to view images, photos and files attached to CiviCRM records and screens. Be sure to assign this permission for the "anonymous" role if you want visitors to see photos attached to contact records, Personal Campaign Pages, etc. and / or other documents intended for public consumption.
- Access Contact Dashboard:
You can provide authenticated users with access to a screen where they can review their subscribed groups, contributions, memberships and event registrations (as applicable). Enable this permission for role(s) for which you want to provide this feature. Do not enable this for the "anonymous" role.
 | Regardless of permissions assigned, the Anonymous role (visitors who are NOT logged in) is not permitted access to the "back-office" functions of CiviCRM. This includes the CiviCRM Home Page dashboard and any of the functions accessed via the standard CiviCRM menus (Find Contacts, Manage Groups, Import, Administer CiviCRM) as well as the built-in Shortcuts block. |

| User Access to Profile Listings
Users / roles can be granted access to CiviCRM Profile Listings so that they can share selected information WITHOUT granting access CiviCRM permission (i.e. without allowing them to access the CiviCRM menus). This is a reasonable configuration choice for Drupal's built-in authenticated user role. If you want anonymous site visitors to view/search Profile Listings, the you would grant this access to the anonymous user role. |
