Iguana X has a Role based permission system to restrict user access to various Iguana system and Component controls.
To perform actions a user needs the required permission. By default users do not have access to edit Iguana system settings - they must be granted access through the use of a role. To edit ‘roles’ for example a user would need to have a matching 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.
Create a Role
Click Add Role at the top right corner of the Roles page.
In the Add a Role window, enter your Role Tag name and click Add.
Choose the the Iguana and Component controls you want to grant Users and Components with this Role - click Save.
Once a Role is created, it can be edited or deleted as required.
Assign a Role to a User
In Settings > Users, click Edit on the User you wish to add a #Role. You can add multiple Roles to a single User, each Role is additive and will provide the User the assigned access permissions.
Assign Roles to Components
To apply permissions to a component, you must add a tag to the component that matches with a role. Components without any tags that match to a role are ‘unsecure’ in that there are no permission restrictions applied to the component - ie. anyone can do anything to the component.
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.
In the Component Card Tags, you will see an alert stating that there are no matching role tags (no permissions applied), meaning that the User will have full component permissions available.
