Advance Access setting up for User account

Requirements

This tutorial requires you to install the Viindoo instance.

Viindoo software is an all-in-one enterprise management system with many apps, features to help users perform many businesses in an enterprise. That’s why users need to be given access rights in order to access the apps and features to perform suitable actions (read, record/edit, create or delete records) for their position.

This article will guide you to manage access rights groups for users.

Manage Access rights group

First of all, you need to activate the developer mode (Debug mode) to see the hidden menus.

• User account setting and management

At the Viindoo main menu, navigate to Setting ‣ Users & Companies ‣ Groups.

When entering the Groups list, select a group to view its access rights.

After entering the access rights group view, select the Access Rights tab. Here, you will see a list of the models that can be accessed and the actions the access rights group can perform on that model.

• Name

  The technical name of the model.
• Model

  These models can be accessed by the current group. You need to clearly identify these models when giving rights.

The next 4 columns show the actions this group can perform on the model:

• Read Access

  The right to view and access records of the model. Without this right, the users will not be able to view as well as access the record in any way (access through URL, through the related records, etc.).
• Write Access

  The user will be able to add or edit the content of the record. But the users won’t be able to create new records for the models (even if they use the duplicate feature).
• Create Access

  The right to create new records or duplicate records of the model.
• Delete Access

  The right allows the users to delete records of the model.

Example: With the Restricted Editor group of the Website app in our image, with the Website Menu model, the user is only allowed to view and create new menus on the system’s website, but will not be able to edit or delete the existed menus. However, the user can still work with the E-Commerce Extra Info Shown on Product page, it is because some interfaces of the E-Commerce module are not restricted.

Warning

You shouldn’t edit these default access rights because they will be reset when updating system. In case you want to edit them, let’s contact Viindoo.

Add users into an access right group

Navigate to Main menu ‣ Setting ‣ Users & Companies ‣ Groups and select the group that need to add new users. On the group, select the Users tab. To add a new user, press Add a line and select a user in the Add: Users pop-up. You can select multiple users at a time, and then press Select to give access rights to these users.

Besides that, if you want to delete users from the group, press the X icon on the right side of the record. After editing, press Save to confirm.

Note

You should note that the user access rights you configure in the advanced access rights interface will only be effective temporarily. This happens because when your system automatically updates periodically or you update them manually, the customized access rights will be overridden, reverting to the default settings.
