3. Click the + Role button.
   
   
   
   
4. Name the custom role 'Unrestricted Publisher' and give it a description such as "Full publishing access only".
   
   
   
   
5. Under Permissions, enable the following toggles:
   
   
   • Campaigns & Calendar parent toggle, as well as all sub-toggles - gives the user unrestricted access to create, compose, and save campaign drafts
   • Insights parent toggle only - gives the user access to the limited Content Publisher collection of reports, but not all reports
   • People parent toggle and the Create Audiences sub-toggle - gives the user access to create and edit audiences, but not manage users
   • Library parent toggle, as well as all sub-toggles - gives the user unrestricted access to manage all campaign assets
   • Configure parent toggle and Workflow sub-toggle - gives the user access to manage workflows such as user onboarding and welcome emails
   • No restrictions - gives the user access to all campaigns, topics, audiences, templates, email aliases, and author aliases
     
     
   
   
   
   
   
6. Save the role.

Your custom role will now be displayed on the roles page, and can be assigned to one or more users from the People page.

When Unrestricted Publishers sign in, they will be able to access everything they need to publish without limitations.
