Iguana X has a Role based permission system to restrict user access to various Iguana system and Component controls.

To perform actions, a user User needs the required permission. The only user that has all permissions granted to them by default is the admin user. By default users , all other Users do not have access to edit Iguana system settings - they must be granted access through the use of a role. To Role Tags. For example, to edit ‘roles’ for example a user User would need to have a matching role tag #Role Tag that grants access to ‘Edit Roles’. The only user that has all permissions granted to them by default is the admin user.

In Settings > Roles, the admin User can create custom #Role Tags with lists of granted permissions to be assigned to both Users and Components.

• Iguana system permissions will be applied to the User with the assigned #Role.

• Component permissions will only be in effect for components with the assigned #Role in the Component Card Tags. The User #role does not need to match the Component #role, the component #role permissions trump.

title To assign a #Role, enter the Role in the Component Card Tags field
Open a component card and enter the #Role in the Tags field. Once entered, a Role related Tag will be bold and link you to the Role configuration. If a #Role is not assigned to any components, the component related role permissions will be applied to all components. (this is not true) If a #Role is assigned to select components, the component related role permissions will only be applied to the tagged components. The User will have full component related permissions on all other components. If a User applies a #Role tag which does not have Tag editing permission to a component, a warning will appear to confirm the change before applying the new permissions.
