Info

Roles can be added to users in three ways:

  1. Directly on the user (Role→User)
  2. Inherited via a group which the user is a part of (Role→GroupUser)
  3. Inherited via a group that has the role inherited from another group (Role→Group→Group→User) (Technically, you can have unlimited groups in groups - but the groups must never create a circular reference)

Users can simultaneously have roles added directly and roles inherited via groups - having the same role added twice (or multiple times) doesn't have an impact. Removing e.g. a group with a duplicate role - will still leave your user with the role.

Roles and groups that have been inherited, will be greyed out. (You also inherit download qualities, but our current implementation does not make them show up. In a perfect world, the inherited download qualities would show up as greyed out)

If you have duplicate roles then the role will have a (+) appended

Editor_SystemTools_AllwaysAllowItemSecurityEdit




Info
iconfalse
titleThis role at its purest
  1. Every time the user reads, it'll skip the mandatory security check.
  2. It'll grant you access to change rights for all items.

Gives you read access to everything you've added - e.g. makes all Catalog and Channel folders appear if you've added "Editor_Catalogs" and "Editor_Portal".

It only in the DC - It does not give you read access to the added assets in the MM, even though you seemingly have read access to them when you look at it Channels in DC.

With this, you can give yourself (and others) write access to folders you don't have write access to.

It also adds "System Tools" to the left side menu - but it is blank - meaning that there are not any system tools in it.

It opens up for access to content in Media Manager. Here this role gives you high-level access.

It gives you access to all collections for all users in the system

SFNot implemented - to be deleted - Use config manager instead
62MediaPortal_See_Uploader_Name

If the following is enabled "Give new recipients of non-social collections (e.g. not Facebook collections) access to manipulate collections:" via config manager, the recipient will be able to CRUD the collection, else the recipient will only be able to Read the collection.
