Only administrators and power users can consult and manage vocabularies.

Vocabularies are the lists of labels used in the application, for instance in drop down lists. A vocabulary is composed of several entries, that are the options in the drop down lists. Some vocabularies are hierarchical, i.e. they have several levels. For instance, the Subjects metadata uses a two level vocabulary. First level is Topic. Second level is Subtopic and each entry is linked to a Topic entry.

Functional administrators Administrators and power users can only modify or delete vocabularies. They cannot create a new vocabulary from the user interface.
