Which role lets a user view and interact with content, but not edit it?
Why B is the answer
Viewer
Viewer is the read-only workspace role. The other three can change content.
In detail
- Viewer can view and interact with content, but not edit it.
- The other roles are Admin, Member and Contributor.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
Regional managers read reports in a workspace but must not change them, so each gets the Viewer role.
