Role: Create a New User Role
Published Date
These instructions guide the user through creating a new User Role, which establishes a profile type with specific permissions.
Create a New Role
- Go to: http://iasc.ch/admin/people/permissions/roles
- Give the Role a name, add Role, edit permissions for that Role.
- You can click on “Permissions” to compare the permissions for each Role.
Connect Role with Organic Groups
Any role that needs to edit/delete/add content to a Space needs to be connected by Organic Groups.
- Go to Admin > Configuration > Organic Groups > OG permissions overview
- Within Organic Groups there are “Groups” – this is different from the Open Atrium “Groups.” “Node – Group” means group-level access control from Groups (e.g., role such as donor, etc.). For now we will edit Spaces. Edit the permissions.
- Admin > People
- Search for the user who you want to have the new Role permissions. Click edit and scroll down. Check appropriate Roles.
Add New Role to a User
- Go to Admin > People
- Search for the User who you want to have the new Role permissions. Click edit and scroll down. Check appropriate Roles.
Assign User to a Space
- Go to Admin > People
- Search for the User, click Edit and scroll down. Assign the User to a Space by editing Group Membership.
