Roles

Each resource in the epicflow system has its own set of permissions called “Roles”.
These rights are configured on the Admin page and are described in detail in article Administration permissions overall overview.

In this article, we will consider the simplest example of assigning roles to a resource in a user’s card.

This is easily done in a three simple steps:

1. In the Resource Management window, open a user card

Screen #6 – Opening user-card

 

2. In the lower left part of the user card, you will see the “Roles” section. The standard role is the User role.
Let’s add the roles of “Administrator” and “Project Manager” to this resource.

Screen #7 – Assigning roles to user

3. Now you need to save your changes. Click the “Save Changes” button. They will take effect immediately and will be visible to the user after the page is reloaded.

Screen #8 – Saving changes
