User roles

Truedat does not come with any role preconfigured. The user roles are configured at each installation. You can create as many user roles as necessary customizing each one with the corresponding permissions. Note that the permissions defined in a role will apply to a user only on the domain in which the user been assigned that role and also in all the descendant subdomains.

To create a new role simply click on the button and enter the name that we want to give to the new role:

If we click on one of the roles we can edit the permissions assigned to the role or the name by clicking on the name:

The permissions defined in the application are divided in the following modules:

Default role

A role can be designated as the default role for the platform. Only one role can be the default role. The permissions on the default role will apply to any user who queries a domain in which the user has no role. In the event that a user is assigned a role within a domain, the assigned permissions will always be in addition to the permissions acquired by default with the default role.

If a default role is not defined, if a user does not have any role defined in any domain, when entering the application, they will be informed that they must consult their administrator to configure the appropriate permissions. This message can be personalized in each installation, indicating the appropriate contact form.

Depending on the user's permissions in the different modules, they may or may not see the menu options. A menu option will be visible to a user as long as they have at least one permission from that module on any domain. Otherwise, the menu options will not be visible preventing them to perform any action or view information they do not have permissions to.
