Authorization System
 
Why permissions:
An intelligent permissioning system allows platform administrators and users to control, who should be permitted to access services and to view or create and edit information.


The Hierarchy:
For every factline Community Server (the server on which your platform runs), there is a system administrator („Sadmin“), one or several platform administrators („pAdmin“) and one or several write-permitted users.
infoIf factline is used as the application service provider (ASP), the system runs on a server powered by factline. In this case, factline takes over the tasks of the Sadmin.
The Sadmin defines for each platform a group of platform administrators, who again specify which groups of users may enter the different services. Finally every user can assign write and read permissions for every piece of information (fact) they create.

Read Permission ("read"):Read-permitted groups can read, but not work on or hide text.
Write Permission („modify“):Write-permitted groups can write, work on, or delete text.

With the creation of a forum there is still a third option:

Post Permission („post“):In the case of the forum, users don’t have the possibility of deleting or altering the title. Here it is possible to exclusively answer a posting.

Assigning Permission:
Read and write permissions will be assigned when providing and/or editing information. Underneath the entry mask you can choose between two options:

"standard"The system copies the permissions from the next higher level. Here there are two different variations. If a piece of information is completely newly-created, the authorization settings of the pAdmin are taken over. If a piece of information is edited, the authorization settings of the previous version are assumed. In each case, the current standard settings are always indicated at the end of the input form.
"advanced"As soon as you click "next>>", you come to a list of all the permission-groups set up by the platform administrator. You assign permissions by clicking the respective checkbox ( ) for reading („read“) and/or writing permission („modify“). With the „set“-button the changes take effect. Please see also the explanation to the according field in the entry mask: (-> field "permissions").
