Configuration
Permission templates and descriptions are defined in profile.config.
PermissionTemplates defines a set of permissions (groups) that may be applied to a user. This is just a short cut to make it easier for admin to apply the right permissions. Sample:
| Code Block |
|---|
<PermissionTemplates> |
...
<PermissionTemplate> |
...
<Name>Default Permission</Name> |
...
<GroupNames>PlaceOrder</GroupNames> |
...
</PermissionTemplate> |
...
<PermissionTemplate> |
...
<Name>Customer</Name> |
...
<GroupNames>PlaceOrder,Price,Availability,EditShippingAddress</GroupNames> |
...
</PermissionTemplate> |
...
<PermissionTemplate> |
...
<Name>Custom</Name> |
...
<GroupNames>Custom</GroupNames> |
...
</PermissionTemplate> |
...
</PermissionTemplates> |
PermissionGroups defines descriptions to each group to be displayed in the web viewer. These descriptions are only used to make it easier for end users to understand the effect of each group. Sample:
| Code Block |
|---|
<PermissionGroups> |
...
<PermissionGroup> |
...
<Name>Administrators</Name> |
...
<Description>Can admister ecom, see prices, callcentre, place order</Description> |
...
</PermissionGroup> |
...
<PermissionGroup> |
...
<Name>CallCenter</Name> |
...
<Description>Can use call centre function, see prices/availability</Description> |
...
</PermissionGroup> |
...
</PermissionGroups> |
