The permissioning system makes it possible for platform administrators (top down) and users or content publisher (bottom up) to control exactly who is permitted to read and create or work on which facts (information).
The pAdmin (top down):
The platform administrator determines which group(s) of users should be able to access the individual services and which groups are permitted to create the facts within content services. Furthermore, the pAdmin defines standard settings which can later be used by the publisher creating a fact.
Permissions assigned for a service
You can, for example, make the service Forum accessible only to internal groups (business management, project teams, ...) One without the necessary privileges will then not be shown the service Forum in any place.
Procedure:
1) Click in the main menu on Services
2) You see now a list of all services. There is a permission button next to each, click on the desired one.
3) In the table on the next page, all your groups are displayed as rows, and the columns represent the possible permission settings.
Please assign for each service, access (Entrance to a service) and standard (pre-defined standard permissions) authorization. Use the following checkboxes:
| "acces + read" |
With this you decide whether a group is allowed to see a service or not. Each group which doesnt have access-read permission is not able to see the respective service in the menu bar of the header. |
|
"acces + write" |
This is used to define whether a group is permitted to create content of the fact type of the specific service. For the case of service Structure, this will set the work permissions for the root of Structure (who is able to create folders/shortcuts in the root).
|
| "standard + read" |
With this you define the pAdmin pre-selection for the read-permitted groups, as described above. |
| "standard + modify" |
With this you define the pAdmin pre-selection for the modify-permitted groups, as described above. |
4) Click on the save button at the bottom, to save your selection.
Examples:
 |
- In this case, all users of the system ("universe") have access to see the service Image in the menu bar and can thus list images, the list of course filtered additionally by the permission set by the creator.
- In this case the group "users" (all registered people) has access-write permission for the service Image. This means that all logged in users are able to create new Image items.
- In this case, when a user creates a new Image item, when he reaches the permission form, the group Mitarbeiter is already pre-selected as modify-permitted, and the group universe, as read-permitted.
|
| To summarise: absolutly everybody can see the service images. All logged in personen can create an image. In case publishers accept the standard-preselection of the pAdmin, only the creator and the group "Mitarbeiter" can edit the image. |
Variant permission tables
Some services have extended or reduced permission tables. Please read the details about the following services:
Structure -- Differing permission options for "factchat" -- Userprofile -- Notification -- Users Online -- facttext
