Access Policies Using MashZone NextGen Built-In Groups
*Guests = users in other sites who are not authenticated. Guests can work with apps deployed in other sites if the app and all other artifacts that it depends on have granted run permissions to the Presto_Guest built-in group. See Enabling Guest Access for instructions.
The most common use is to allow apps to run in public web sites or other environments where secure access is not needed.
Note:  
Granting guest access to mashables, mashups and apps also implicitly grants run permissions to the artifact to any authenticated MashZone NextGen user in the AppDepot and in MashZone NextGen Hub.
*End Users = all authenticated users (in the MashZone NextGen Repository) that are not in another built-in group. Authenticated users can access MashZone NextGen Hub and the AppDepot to find artifacts, but they can only use the artifacts to which they have been granted run permissions. They also have no access to tools that create artifacts.
*Power Users = users in the Presto_PowerUser group can register mashables and create mashups or apps using wizards or other visual tools in MashZone NextGen Hub. Power users cannot use tools or other features that are highly technical or that require coding with EMML, RAQL, the App Specification or other MashZone NextGen APIs or extension points.
This group is typically used for domain experts, business analysts or other non-technical users who should be able to create artifacts using wizards or visual tools.
*Developers = users in the Presto_Developer group can find, register and create mashables, mashups or apps using both visual tools and code editors that use the full power of EMML, RAQL, the App Specification and other MashZone NextGen extension points. Developers also have access to other technical information, such as the Technical Specification for mashables and mashups or the API Console.
This group is typically used for IT or line-of-business developers involved in developing dashboards, data feeds, apps, mashups, or mashables for specific projects. Developers may also develop other extension features to provide specific capabilities in MashZone NextGen Hub for power users.
Users of the Presto_Developer group have the permission to create and edit dashboards and data feeds.
*Administrators = users in the Presto_Administrator group have unrestricted permissions in MashZone NextGen. They can work with any tools, features or artifacts. They also have permissions to use the Admin Console to configure and manage MashZone NextGen and to approve apps that have been submitted to the AppDepot.
Administrators are the only built-in group that is required. You can use the other built-in groups to grant access to specific MashZone NextGen tools and features.
