Reserved Roles

Reserved roles in Speck are prefixed by "sp", and include spSuper, spEdit, and spLive. In general you should not add any roles that begin with "sp" followed by an English word, as the names may clash with current or future reserved roles.

Users who have the spSuper role can do anything, other users must have spEdit to add or edit content and spLive to promote content to the live version of the site. If promotion is disabled, users need to have spEdit and spLive because new content and modifications to existing content are immediately promoted to the live version of the site.

The portal framework creates some other reserved roles (spKeywords and spUsers) to allow permission to manage both navigation and users to be granted to non-super users (though at the moment, the spUsers role isn't used and spSuper is still required to manage users).
