# Non-admin User Roles

Users who are not assigned to the *Admin* role are categorized as **Non-Admin Users**. These users operate with limited privileges and cannot access core administrative features by default. However, their access to specific modules and functionalities can be tailored based on the permissions granted by their system administrator.

## Customising Permissions for a Non-admin Group

For the ease of understanding, we have named a user group as non-admin and have customised various permissions for it. 

* Select the ***User Group*** from the ***User Groups*** list.
* Click the ***Edit*** icon provided for it.
* The ***Update Group*** section opens on the right side. 

  <figure><img src="/files/6T3eaycLPZJnrY02TvT8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
* Let us check out various access permissions provided to this user group, such as for App, Folder, and File.&#x20;
  * **App Permissions:** The selected user group has permission(s) to access only the BDB Form, Data Center,  Designer,  and Survey modules.

  * **Folder Permissions:** The selected user group has been provided permission(s) to access only the ***Copy***, ***Create Folder,*** and ***Create Report*** actions for a Folder.

  * **File Permissions:** The selected user group has ***File Permissions*** to perform only ***Copy*** and ***Move To*** actions for a file.

* Click the ***Save*** option to save or update the User Group updates.

## Adding a User to a Non-admin User Group

You may either add users to a non-admin user group using the ***Edit*** option provided for it or select a non-admin user group while creating or updating a user.&#x20;

Let us see both the above-mentioned ways:

* Select a non-admin user group from the User Groups list (E.g., Non-Admin Group).
* Open the ***Add Users to Group*****&#x20;panel** and add a specific user/ users to that group.

*OR*

A user can be assigned a non-admin group using the ***Add to Groups*** option. It will open the ***Add Users to Group*** while completing the user creation/ updation process. The image below displays user updation.

* Click the ***Save*** options that appear for either a user group or a user. &#x20;

  <figure><img src="/files/gBzNMFYLCby7TBqmdt3q" alt=""><figcaption><p>the Save option for a User </p></figcaption></figure>

The user(s) get added to the selected non-admin user group in both scenarios. You may see the users part of the non-admin user group by clicking on the user group.

{% hint style="info" %}
*<mark style="color:green;">Please note:</mark>*&#x20;

* *For the existing user group and user, you may get the **Update Group** or **Update User** pages with the Save option to complete the process.*
* *For the new user group and new user, you may get the New Group and New User pages with the Create option to complete the process.*
  {% endhint %}

## Interacting with the BDB Platform using Non-admin User Credentials

Let us take an example to understand how a non-admin user interacts with the BDB platform by accessing the apps and other platform permissions through a non-admin user account.

* Sign in to the Platform using a non-admin user's credentials. ​

  <figure><img src="/files/dj2uffdmondl8NQaTRkU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
* Open the ***Apps*** menu. You will find only the permitted modules accessible to the user, other than the default modules.
  * The same set of permitted modules/ apps will be listed on the left side menu of the platform homepage.

{% hint style="info" %}
*<mark style="color:green;">Please note:</mark>* ***Home**, **Catalog**, and **Reports** are default modules for any user role.*&#x20;
{% endhint %}

* Access the Folder Permissions using the Create option or using a right-click on the homepage.&#x20;

  <figure><img src="/files/N7MYg1P3i2fhhJImwKcX" alt=""><figcaption><p><em><strong>Restricted Create Permissions for Document Creation</strong></em></p></figcaption></figure>

* Use a right click on a folder to access the restricted folder permissions.

* Access the attributive file options by clicking on a file/ document.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
*<mark style="color:green;">Please note:</mark> The non-admin role users will have customized or restricted permissions for apps, folders, and files based on the permissions assigned to their user group.*
{% endhint %}
