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 startβ
A role with a group in it, for example acme-builders for the group frontend-team, with these
rights (Create a role):
| Plugin | Boxes to tick (tab Rights, Edit rights) |
|---|---|
| orion-dashboard | Create, Update, Delete |
| scaffolder | Read, Create |
π Check itβ
-
Click your avatar, at the top right, then Logout.
-
Sign in with a person of the group, for example a member of
frontend-team. -
In the left sidebar, click The Foundry. Each template card now has a Choose button.
-
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 changesβ
| Permission | What the person can do |
|---|---|
scaffolder.task.create | Click Choose on a template, and Create at the end of its form |
scaffolder.task.read | Open the Tasks tab of The Foundry |
dashboard.update | Click Arrange, or rename, reorder and delete the dashboards on My Dashboards |
β Take the rights awayβ
-
As an administrator, delete the role: see Change or delete a role.
-
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.
β That's it!
