User Group Permissions

Postby TomW » Tue Jun 21, 2016 4:13 pm

Hi

How are the permissions resolved when you have the same user in more than one group.
As an example we have a user fred in one group who can read an write inventory items and he is also in another group who has read only permissions.
Is this possible within Jiwa or do we need to only have people in the one group with the same permissions.


Thanks

Tom

Hi TomW,

Permissions are merged together, so in your example fred will end up with read and write permissions for the Inventory form.

There are 3 basic permissions - undefined, allow and disallow. A user must belong to at least one group with allow permissions, and no groups which have disallow permissions in order to obtain the allow permission.

Also, each user group has default permissions for read and write - this facilitates setting a permission for a group without explicitly going through each form and setting the permission.
