6.7.2 Project Role Management

Aqua Data Server provides a very flexible security model which enables you to determine what users can view and which actions they can take. Aqua Data Server's security model is based upon individual permissions which control a specific action on a specific object. Aqua Data Serer comes with a fixed set of permissions. To grant permissions, a role must first be created to specify which permissions are enabled in the role. Once a role is created, multiple users can then be assigned to this role. You can create multiple roles to assign a different set of permissions to different users. You can also assign multiple roles to a given user and Aqua Data Server will combine the granted permissions across the roles assigned. 

Project permissions control access to objects and actions tied to a project. A separate set of project roles needs to be created for each project. Project roles cannot be shared across multiple projects. On this page:

Project Permissions List

The following table lists the available project permissions and the functions they secure.

Tip: To assign Add/Create or Edit/Delete Object permissions, the permission model requires that the Object's corresponding View permission also to be granted. e.g. To grant Edit System Settings permission, you also need to grant the View System Settings. If you omit the View System Settings permission, the system will display an error message such as "You selected Edit System Settings but you cannot use it without View System Settings."

Auto Generated Project Roles

Each time a new project is created Aqua Data Server automatically creates 3 project roles within the newly created project. These are "Administrator", "Developer" and "User".

Project Role Fields

• Role Name: The name of the role. The role name must be unique across all other roles within the current project. 
• Project Permissions: The permissions given to the Role and indicated by check boxes.
• Created: The date the role was created. 
• Updated: The date the role was last modified.

New Project Role

Click the "New Role" icon in the action bar of the Project Roles page. Role name is a required field. 

Search Project Role

Type in your search text in the Action Bar and press enter. Aqua Data Server performs a case insensitive search against the role name and lists only those roles which match the search text. e.g. Using the search term "own", will return roles with names like "Project Owner" and "owner."

To get back the complete list of project roles, remove the search text and press enter.

Edit Project Role

Click the "Edit"  action next to the role you wish to edit. All fields are modifiable and the new permissions take effect immediately for the user making the change. For other users who are already logged into the system, there can be up to a 30 second delay prior to the permissions taking effect.

Delete Project Role

Click the "Delete"  action next to the role you wish to delete. The permission changes take effect immediately for the user making the change. For other users who are already logged into the system, there can be up to a 30 second delay prior to the permissions taking effect.

Click "Delete Project Role" to confirm the delete operation.

Project Role Detail Page

Clicking on a project role will navigate you to the Project Role Detail Page which displays the permissions for that role and all users that have been assigned this role in a list at the bottom of the page.
