The permissioning system gives platform administrators (top down), users or content publishers (bottom up) the possibility to control exactly who is permitted to read, create or work on specific 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 when 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) Now you see a list of all services. There is a permission button next to each of them, 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. For each service, you have to set access (Entrance to a it) and standard (pre-defined standard permissions) authorization. The following checkboxes are available:
| "acces + read" |
Defines whether a group has access to a service in principle. |
|
"acces + write" |
Defines whether a group is allowed to create facts of this specific service. |
| "standard + read" |
As pAdmin you suggest to users this group to be "read" permitted in most cases. |
| "standard + modify" |
As pAdmin you suggest to users this group to be "modify" permitted in most cases. |
4) Click on the set permissions button at the bottom, to save your selection.
Examples:
 |
- In this case, all users of the system ("universe") have the permission to see the service Image in the menu bar and can thus list images. The list of course is additionally filtered by the individual permissions 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 summarize: absolutely everybody can see the service images. All logged in persons can create a new image. In case publishers accept the standard-pre-selection of the pAdmin, only the creator and the group "Mitarbeiter" can edit the new image. |
Alternative 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
