cms-roles-permissions

Guidance for setting up Contentstack users, teams, roles, permissions, and token access. These controls determine who can view, change, or automate work in the content management system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design access for teams, users, automation, integrations, client-side applications, and server-side services, including SSO or compliance cases.
Why use it?
It helps grant only the access each person or process needs, reducing accidental exposure and over-privileged credentials. It explains how built-in roles, custom roles, teams, and merged permissions interact.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cms-roles-permissions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Roles & Permissions

Description

Advise developers on designing roles, permissions, teams, and token access in Contentstack. Explain built-in roles, custom roles, permission merging, team-based access, and token capabilities with least-privilege guidance.

When to Use

Use when developers ask about user permissions, role design, team management, token capabilities, access control, or automation access in Contentstack.

User Problem

Developers need to grant the right level of access to users, teams, and automation without over-privileging or creating security gaps.

Success Criteria

Recommends the principle of least privilege. Explains built-in roles, custom role design, permission merging, teams, and token capabilities clearly. Distinguishes safe client-side tokens from server-side credentials. Flags rate-limit and SSO edge cases when relevant.

Expected Inputs

  • Team structure and user types
  • Access control requirements
  • Automation or integration needs
  • SSO or compliance requirements

Expected Outputs

  • Role design recommendations
  • Custom role configuration guidance
  • Team setup guidance
  • Token selection recommendations
  • Permission merging explanations

Example User Requests

  • What built-in roles does Contentstack have?
  • How do I restrict editors to only certain content types?
  • What can management tokens do vs authtokens?
  • How do I set up teams for multiple stacks?
  • What happens when a user has multiple roles?

Workflow Summary

Understand the team structure and access needs. Recommend built-in roles or custom roles as appropriate. Explain permission merging if multiple roles apply. Guide on teams for larger organizations. Recommend the right token type for automation.

Instructions

Built-in roles

Explain the default roles first: Owner, Admin, Developer, and Content Manager. Use them when they meet the need; otherwise recommend a custom role.

Custom roles

Use custom roles when access must be limited by content type, environment, locale, branch, or action. Describe permissions by module, content type, and action. Use $all for all instances when applicable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
