Users and Roles

There are four levels of access that can be set within Ousia if you include blocked as the default privilege.

• Blocked
  
• Read
  
• Edit
• Admin

Blocked

Sends an Access Denied (403 response) to users logged in, or redirects the user to log in to check if access can be granted. To set this level, remove the user/role from the relevant page, or set them with no ticks.

Read

Content is delivered for the request in read only mode. Some controls can be interacted with, however editing content is turned off.

Edit

Content editing is enabled, this role can be used for people like translators who can then be allowed to edit content, but not change things like permission levels.

Admin

Full capabilities are granted in this mode, can change access rights to pages, add and delete content and more.

Add as many roles as you require, these can then be assigned to people to access different parts of the site. In general this would only be required on custom sites, but could be used to create an area in a website only accessible to managers.

Within the relevant section, simple add the role you want to set permissions for.

The system is created with Admin and User roles.

To make life simple, users can be added in a number of ways,

Manual Addition

Within the system area you can manually create a User/Customer. Every new user is automatically added to the User role.

Standard User

For a standard user who requires access to the site, add the email address. If the password is left blank one will be created and sent to the user.

Alternatively, if you are with the user and in admin role, let them enter a password here.

Customer Only

Simply fill out the Title, Forename and Surname. This will get expanded to include additional data.

Create Account Page

Users have the ability to create their own accounts, but are required to use their email address. They are automatically added to the Users role, so would require an admin to extent this via the system area.

Social

We have been testing allowing user to log in via Social Media channels, this will appear on the Log In page soon.

Users have the ability to control a certain amount of information that can be displayed. This can be managed in the My Account page, or by the System/Users page.

Bio's in multiple languages can be added, which then pull though to the Author Control, as well as links to Social Media accounts.

Role management is only available in the system area.

More CRM features are planned, and will be added in due course, but only enabled on when requested.
