Roles

Roles serve the purpose of effectively distinguishing the responsibilities and authorities allocated to each category of users.

They facilitate the establishment of a hierarchical structure based on the roles assigned to individual users. Higher-ranking roles possess the capability to oversee critical aspects of the application, whereas lower-ranking roles typically entail simpler, less impactful duties.

Note

To ensure clarity and avoid conflicts in permissions, it is recommended to assign a single role to each user.

When it comes to roles, users have two options: the ability to manage their visibility within the application and the possibility to designate them as default roles, which are the roles inherited by new users upon registration.

Create a role

To create a new role users can click the "New Role" button, situated at the top right corner of the screen.

This will open up a new window with three sections.

• The first section manages the name and the color of the role itself. It's possible to set a role as "Visible", so other people can see it under the nametag in the application, and set a role as "Default", so a new user will have this role.
• In the second section it's possible to associate the role to specific users, or remove them
• The third section it's where the permits and powers are associated with that role.
