Managing Users
LibrePlan's system allows administrators to manage user profiles, authorizations, and users. Users are assigned to user profiles, which can have a series of predefined roles that grant access to the program's features. Roles are defined authorizations within LibrePlan. Examples of roles include:
- Administration: A role that must be assigned to administrators to enable them to perform administrative operations.
- Web Service Reader: A role required for users to consult the program's web services.
- Web Service Writer: A role required for users to write data via the program's web services.
Roles are predefined within the system. A user profile consists of one or more roles. Users must have specific roles to perform certain operations.
Users can be assigned one or more profiles, or one or more roles directly, allowing for specific or generic authorization to be granted.
To manage users, follow these steps:
- Go to "Manage users" in the "Administration" menu.
- The program displays a form with a list of users.
- Click the edit button for the desired user or click the "Create" button.
