Presentation
Assigning rights to users consists in assigning a profile to a user in a context.
A profile is a set of rights.
Right profiles can be created in several places:
- From the back-office admin(users, groups and site rights tab): manage profiles shared by all sites.
These are called " Shared profiles ". - From the CMS back-office(users, groups and site rights tab): allows you to manage site-specific rights.
These are referred to as " Site Profiles".
All available context rights are located in the Users, groups and rights tab and the Profile assignment button.
The profile assignment tool consists of two parts:
- left (purple square on diagram): list of contexts
- on the right (orange square on the diagram) the list of rights profiles, which is updated according to the selected context.
Steps for assigning a rights context
Two types of rights contexts exist and are presented below:
- general: rights will be assigned to the entire context.
- using a search: in this type of context, it is possible to assign rights to specific content. A search box is therefore provided to help you find this specific content.
How to affect a general rights context?
- Select a general legal context from the drop-down list, e.g. General Context.
- Click on Add users or Add groups and select one or more users or groups.
See Ametys Users and groups to create, modify or delete users or groups. - Check the rights profile you wish to assign to the user or group.
See the documentation pages Ametys Rights profiles and Assigning rights to find out more about profiles and rights assignment items. - Save assignment
How do you assign a rights context using a search?
In the"Site contents","Training offer" and"Reference tables" contexts, you can assign the context :
- on all content: In this case, tick the All content box and follow steps 2,3,4 of the above handling of general contexts.
- or just one using the search engine.
Follow this procedure to target specific content:
- Select a rights context from the drop-down list, e.g. Training offer
- Check "Search for a training element" or "Search for a contact": search box '3' is updated
- Enter search criteria
- Click on the Search button.
When you modify the search criteria, click on the search again to update the results. - In the search results, select your content or contact
- Click on Add users or Add groups and select the user(s) or group(s).
See Ametys Users and groups to create, modify or delete users or groups. - Check the right profile you want to assign to the user or group.
