NSP has different types of users including Administrators, Agents and End Users. All of these users have different tasks to perform, and then have been assigned different access permissions based on roles. The resulting permission for a user is a merge of permissions based on all the roles the user is added to, and all roles assigned to groups user is a member of. If a permission is assigned to at least one of those roles, this permission will be assigned to the user.
This module facilitates you to define and assign roles and permissions to different types of users.
To access Roles & Permissions page, go to Configurations > Manage > Roles & Permissions:
Role Management
This form contains a list of existing roles. Roles with lower permission level than the logged in user’s Role level are displayed in the list. For example, if administrator is logged in, he is able to see the roles related to End User and Agent levels.
Each row in the list includes Role Name and Actions buttons:
Add Users button is used to assign the
role to various users. See Add Users to
Role.
Permissions is used to assign permissions
to the users assigned to that role. See Role Permissions.
Edit button is used to edit the existing
role, clicking on it opens Add Role form in edit mode.
Delete button is used to delete the
selected role. Note that system defined Admin role cannot be edited and
deleted.
Search, sort, filter, paging, print and export functionality is similar to other lists in NSP, see section General User Interface.
