Assigning a User as a Proxy Author

A proxy author is a user with the Proxy Author role who can create content on behalf of an owner. When you designate a user as a proxy author, you must also designate one or more owners the user can proxy for.

Proxy authors can only be assigned to users with the Document Owner or Assessment Owner role.
