Who can do what

Five permissions appear under Settings → Roles → Plugins → Revisionary in Strapi:

PermissionAllows
ReadSee the version history, reviews and the audit log
CompareCompare any two versions
RestorePut fields back from a version
Approve reviewsApprove versions and accept suggestions
Update settingsChange the Revisionary settings

The history never shows more than the Content Manager does. Revisionary applies the Content Manager permissions of each entry:

  • Locales: a role limited to French sees, compares and restores French versions only.
  • Conditions such as Is creator: a role limited to its own entries cannot see the history of others. In the trash, it finds the entries it created.
  • Fields: a field a role cannot read is hidden from versions, differences and search. When it is the entry title, the title is hidden everywhere too. Nobody can restore a field they are not allowed to edit.

The audit log follows the same rules, and its counters only count the content types the role can read. IP addresses and plugin-wide events (settings, licence) are only shown to people who can update the settings. The restore options in Settings → Permissions add rules for the built-in Editor and Author roles.
