Building:Roles and Permissions - cu-uis/cu-starterkit-project GitHub Wiki

Anonymous Browser

Users who visit public facing pages of the site organically from links, search, etc. The lack of UTM values is an indication that a user arrived at the site organically.

Anonymous Targeted User

A user who clicks a link with specific UTM values (Google search ad, Facebook ad, etc) or who initially visits a Landing Page.

Authenticated User (AU)

This role has no permission to make changes, but authentication using CU's SSO is required to review unpublished changes to public pages. New Landing Pages can be published with little/no issue, but publishing other page types adds to the sitemap.xml by default. This informs search engines of the page's existence. Once indexed, search engines will keep a cached version of the page even if it is unpublished after review.
