Prior to creating new users, ensure that you have created the roles required for your users. This will allow you to assign the roles to the users as you create them from the drop down list.
To create a new role, use the Roles module in rightmost column of the Users screen.
When you select New Role, you will be moved to the role defining screen. Here you can define the Field Permissions and the Action Permissions for each of the roles that you create. Permissions are grouped into Categories, which in turn possess a number of sub-categories. Permissions can be set for a category as a whole, or individually for each of its sub-categories. This allows you to fine-tune the features that a particular user group is able to access.
Your options under FIELD PERMISSIONS are:
- FULL – This option gives the user the ability to make changes to everything in this field
- READ ONLY – This option the user can see the item but cannot make any changes
- CLEAR – This option clears all previous settings and sets each item to “Not Set”
Your option under ACTION PERMISSIONS are:
- ENABLE – This option gives the user the ability to do the function
