Permission Administration

The Permission Administration module lets the Dashboard administrator configure the the roles and the mapping with roles and permissions using a matrix.

• The Administrator can add roles by clicking the Add button. A text box will appear at the bottom of the Role column of the role-permission matrix. Now, the administrator can input the name of the role and press Enter to save it.

  

• The Administrator can assign permissions to an existing role as well as a newly created role. Permissions can be assigned by checking the appropriate checkbox in Role/permissions matrix. In the same manner, it is possible remove the permission from the role simply by removing the check from the checkbox.

  

• A role can be removed by clicking remove link in the same row of the role. A confirmation dialogue box appears when the link is clicked. If the administrator confirms, that role is deleted.

  

  Please note that, if the role is already assigned to any user, there will be a second confirmation box before deleting the role showing that the role is already assigned. Also note that the users may not be able to use some community site features after deleting such role.
