Assigning security roles

When creating or editing users, you can assign security roles to them, governing the permissions they have in the organization's MeetingBooster installation. It is possible to assign several security roles to the same user based on both user groups and the user hierarchy as explained below. If no security roles are selected for the user, that user has the MeetingBooster default role (by user hierarchy).

For more information on adding or editing users, see "Adding users" and "Editing users".

For more information on security roles, see "Understanding security roles".

For more information on user hierarchies and user groups, see "Managing user hierarchies" and "Managing user groups".

Assigning more than one security role to users

It is possible to assign more than one security role to the same user. If you do this, and the different security roles give different access levels to the user, one simple rule applies: For each permission, the user gets the access level with the least restrictions.

Example: If a user has been assigned a security role by user hierarchy denying him permission to view other meetings and a security role by user group granting him global permission to view other meetings, that user will have the global permission to view other meetings.

Assigning a security role by user hierarchy

During user editing, click the Security Roles tab.

Click Add Role  under User Hierarchy.

In the dialog that appears, select the role the user should have, and click OK.

Click Save.

All users have a system default security role for user hierarchies. This role lets users access the meetings they have created or been invited to and see projects they are a member of. It is only necessary to create new security roles by user hierarchy if one or more users in the user hierarchy needs additional permissions. The default role cannot be deleted.

Assigning a security role by user group

During user editing, click the Security Roles tab.

Click Add Role  under User Groups.

In the dialog that appears, select the role the user should have, and click OK.

By default, the security role is applied to the user group the user belongs to. If the security role should apply to a different user group, do the following:

Click the name of the user group shown in the User Group column.

In the dialog that appears, select the user group the security role should apply to.

You can also access the Select User Group dialog by clicking the three dots at the far right of the security role name on the Security Roles tab.

Click OK.

Click Save.

Assigning users to a security role

Instead of assigning security roles to a user, you can also add one or more users to a security role. This is a practical way of assigning large numbers of users to the same security role.

Click Roles for User Hierarchy or Roles for User Groups under Security in the menu.

Select the security role that you want to add users to.

On the Users tab, click Add User .

Select one or more users, and click OK.

Removing a security role from a user

During user editing, click the Security Roles tab.

Select the role to be removed.

Click Remove Role .

Click Save.
