Check what a role gives

You created a role. Sign in as one of the people in it and see, screen by screen, what they can now do.

Before you start​

A role with a group in it, for example acme-builders for the group frontend-team, with these rights (Create a role):

PluginBoxes to tick (tab Rights, Edit rights)
orion-dashboardCreate, Update, Delete
scaffolderRead, Create

πŸ” Check it​

  1. Click your avatar, at the top right, then Logout.

  2. Sign in with a person of the group, for example a member of frontend-team.

  3. In the left sidebar, click The Foundry. Each template card now has a Choose button.

  4. In the left sidebar, click My Dashboards, then the tab of the dashboard you want. Add a card and Arrange are active.

The new rights apply as soon as the person signs in.

What each permission changes​

PermissionWhat the person can do
scaffolder.task.createClick Choose on a template, and Create at the end of its form
scaffolder.task.readOpen the Tasks tab of The Foundry
dashboard.updateClick Arrange, or rename, reorder and delete the dashboards on My Dashboards

βž– Take the rights away​

  1. As an administrator, delete the role: see Change or delete a role.

  2. Sign in again as the same person. The Choose buttons are gone, and Arrange shows a padlock. Hover it: Your role can't edit dashboards. Ask an administrator. The cards already on the dashboard stay.

βœ… That's it!
