User Management
Previous role-based system had a single user management permission that encompasses all possible user management activities. With the new access management, we aim to ensure that admin users can provide access rights to their users as needed.
This documentation provides a detailed overview of the changes. Note that the default roles in the system will function the same as before:
Admin role: Will still have access to the new user management permissions.
Editor role: Will have view profile permission by default but not have access to the new user management permissions.
Viewer role: Will have view profile permission by default but not have access to the new user management permissions.
Note for existing users: For the existing roles in the application, if they've had 'Manage User Permissions and Access' previously enabled, then all the new permissions are enabled. If the above permission was disabled, then all the new permissions are disabled.
Admin users must ensure that their users have the required access.
Summary of Changes
The current "Manage User Permissions and Access" toggle in the Roles tab will be replaced with these five individual permissions:
Edit Profile
View Team
Edit Team
Full Access to Roles
Full Access to Invitations
Old Permission
New permissions
Previously, users with roles that had the "Manage User Permissions and Access" permission disabled still had access to the Team and Roles tabs in the Settings.
After the introduction of the new permissions, these users will only see the Profile tab in the settings. This means they can view their own profile but cannot view other users in the system or have permissions to edit users/add/edit roles, and so on.
