Inviting users
When you have a project published to the site, you can invite users or user groups to join this site and review the project. For more information, see Inviting people to a site and Adding groups to a site in Alfresco Community Documentation.
Managing roles and permissions
Each user or user group has an assigned role in the site - Manager, Collaborator, Contributor, or Consumer - and each role has a default set of permissions. This controls the actions with comments the user can perform in all the published projects of that site. However, you can override a user's site role for a particular published project, if you want to give more access to this content compared to what the user can do with other content in the site library.
To assign a role for the particular content
- In the site, click Document Library.
- Move the pointer over the published project and click
Manage Permissions. - Click Add User/Group.
- Type the name of the user or group you want to define permissions for and click Search or press Enter. The search returns a list of users.
- Click Add to place the user or group in the Locally Set Permissions table. The user is given the Contributor role.
Change the role as needed.
- Click Save.
Customizing a site (optional)
Once you've created a site you can customize it to add extra features.
Each new site contains a library, and the site manager can add other features, such as a wiki, a blog, and a calendar. These features can be further customized by renaming, and creating a theme or color scheme.

Special case of using Alfresco sites: sharing the same project with two different review teams
If you expect the feedback on the published project from two different review teams, do the following:
- Create two sites.
- Publish the same project to each site.
- Invite people from the first review team to one site, and people from the second review team - to another site.
As a result, the teams review the same project and provide the feedback on it separately from each other. The comments provided by different teams do not mix.
