Hi Team, we have a customized workflow and a new role reviewer, and we want to restrict the reviewer from adding/editing the content. Which configurations to look for to restrict reviewer from adding content? Thanks Binay ---

Hello, your “reviewer” role should be similar to xm.default-user.author but with the xm.content.viewer userrole instead of the xm.content.author one. This gives read-only access to documents and the Experience Manager. ---

Hi David, Thank you for the quick response. I followed the change you suggested but its removing all the options for reviewer role, even accepting/rejecting review request from Author. My requirement is to not allow Reviewer create/edit document, but can act on Accept/Reject request. Can you please suggest any solution. Thanks and regards ---

Accept/reject publication requests is an Editor action by default, but if you make them a viewer, they lose access to the whole document toolbar. I don’t think you can control access to the Publication button only. This probably needs a deep dive into the permission systems, or you could modify the default workflow [SCXML Workflow Engine - Bloomreach Experience Manager (PaaS/Self-Hosted) - The Fast and Flexible Headless CMS](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/concepts/workflow/scxml-workflow-engine.html) Does this reviewing process need to be done in the CMS? If you’re on v15, you could use the External Preview which requires no CMS accounts for reviewers [https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/end-user-manual/channel-manager/enable-external-preview.html](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/end-user-manual/channel-manager/enable-external-preview.html) ---
