How do I regulate access and editing of different functionalities in WeASSIST?

Within a software system, you usually do not want each of your users to have all available rights. Therefore, there is a roles and rights system in WeASSIST. Within this system you create roles and assign permissions to them.
To create a role and assign rights to it, proceed as follows:


Go to the Roles and Permissions page "Administration --> Roles and Permissions" and start creating a new role by clicking on "+".

Creating roles
In the window that opens, you can first give your role a name and then start assigning rights to it. The rights are divided into three categories:

  •  View
  • Edit
  • Agree

To assign rights to your role, click the slider next to the corresponding right in the category you have chosen. If you assign the right "Edit", the right to view will be assigned automatically.


Creating roles


If you have already created users in the system, you can assign them accordingly after creating the role.


Tips:

  • If a user has multiple roles with different permissions, he will get the permissions of the role with higher permissions at all times. Example: User has the role "Shift leader" and the role "Worker". The "Shift Leader" role is allowed to edit dashboards, the "Worker" role is not. The user is allowed to edit dashboards in this constellation.
  • The "Approve" right should only be assigned to persons who also have the authority to be responsible for costs, as these users can add new devices or users, which in turn incurs costs
