  1. Various User Roles

Non-admin User Roles

The section focuses on user-defined roles of the platform users.

PreviousAdmin Role

Check out the walk-through on how to assign customized roles to users.

The user allocated to any group other than the Admin Role with limited credited permissions gets the non-admin user role category. The non-admin users may have customized access to platform modules based on the rights given by their administrator.

  • Select a non-admin user group from the User Groups list (E.g., Non-Admin Group).

  • Open the Add Users to Group panel and add a specific user/ users to that group.

OR

A user can be assigned a non-admin group using the Assign Group to User option while completing the user creation/ updation process.

  • You can check out various access permissions provided to the user group or customize the given permissions such as for App, Folder, and File to the selected group.

Let us take an example to understand how a non-admin user interacts with the BDB platform displaying the details for a Non-admin user group:

  • App Permissions: The selected user group does not have permission(s) to access the Admin, Form, and Survey modules.

  • Folder Permissions: The selected user group does not have permission(s) to Add To Favorite, Delete, Link a URL, and Open in a New Tab for a Folder.

  • File Permissions: The selected user group does not have File Permissions to Add To Favorite, Delete, Open in a New Tab, or Rename a file document.

  • Save the User Group updates.

  • A confirmation message appears to inform that the group updates are saved.

  • The user(s) gets added to the selected non-admin user group.

  • Login to the Platform using a non-admin user's credentials. ​

  • Open the Apps menu. You will find only the permitted modules accessible to the user.

Please Note: The Home, Report, and Data Catalog modules are also allowed for a Viewer Role user.

  • Try to access the attributive options by clicking on the Options icon on the My Documents page. You can see that the user gets only limited (permitted) options. E.g., Only the Create Folder and Link a URL options are visible in the following image.

Please Note: 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.
