Roles

MCS from version 1.3.0

Overview

In the Roles Configuration, administrators can manage user permissions and access control by assigning roles. Roles define the actions users can perform and restrict access to specific MCS features and settings. This ensures that each user has only the access necessary for their role, allowing them to view or edit content they are authorized for.

The configuration provides detailed role-based options, including settings for MCS features, specific actions for defined roles, and access to designated groups.

The Main Table

Description: A detailed table listing configurable permissions, features and settings in MCS. The table organizes the MCS into areas that closely resemble the MCS widgets in the main menu. User access is defined by the role's assigned position, which determines the actions they can perform within designated access groups. For each item in the table, the admin can assign a position to the role and, where applicable, specify access groups for each position.

In the example below:

The admin user creates a new role labeled ROLE POD A.
For this role, for the Channels resource:
- Admin Position:
  The admin specifies that users with the Admin position (e.g., able to View, Edit, Create, Delete, Disable Monitoring, Enable Monitoring) will be assigned to all access groups in the Channels resource of MCS. This allows users with this position to perform all Admin actions on all channels.
- Controller Position:
  The admin specifies that users with the Controller position (e.g., able to View, Disable Monitoring, Enable Monitoring) will be assigned only to GROUP POD A and GROUP POD B. These groups, created within the Channels resource of MCS, restrict users to performing Controller actions only on channels assigned to these groups.
- Viewer Position:
  The admin specifies that users with the Viewer position (e.g., able to only View) will be assigned only to GROUP POD B. This limits users to performing Viewer actions only on channels assigned to this group.

Location: Positioned at the central section.

Label: Name of the resource or configuration.
Position: Specifies the role type, determining the actions allowed for this position.
This field cannot be edited.
Actions: Lists the available permissions for each position.
This field cannot be edited.
Access Groups: Shows the access groups where you can configure the features accessible by the role and position.
