Role: Create a New User Role

These instructions guide the user through creating a new User Role, which establishes a profile type with specific permissions.

Create a New Role

1. Go to: http://iasc.ch/admin/people/permissions/roles
2. Give the Role a name, add Role, edit permissions for that Role.
3. 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.

1. Go to Admin > Configuration > Organic Groups > OG permissions overview
2. 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.
3. Admin > People
4. 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

1. Go to Admin > People
2. 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

1. Go to Admin > People
2. Search for the User, click Edit and scroll down. Assign the User to a Space by editing Group Membership.
