Roles

The Web Manager uses a role-based authorization mechanism. There are four different roles: 

  • Super Administrator

  • Administrator

  • Manager

  • Viewer

  • None

For each role, app permissions are defined. These permission define the actions that a user is allowed to do within app.

For each user, the role for each app can be defined separately. To ease the configuration for system with lots of users, this assignment can also be done using groups. This means, for each group the roles for each app can be defined. Thus, users that belong to a group inherits the roles from the group.

app each role is granted a preset set of permissions (see table below).

The default role given to a user is specified during creation of the account. For each app, the role of the given user can later be change on the Web Manager > User Management > Apps page.

In complex projects it can be useful organize users in groups and grant permissions on a group level. The effective permission is calculated as the disjunction (logical OR) of user permissions and group permissions.

Apps permissions

The following table shows which specific permissions each role is granted in the respecive apps:
