Groups
Permission resources consist of groups and these groups are applied to user. Groups can be shared between permission and as a result user belonging to the group will have access to permissions among which they are shared.
How to use permission resources and groups
Permissions to resources (functions or data) are connected to a group. Users being assigned to that group will have access to the resources in that group.
The connections between permissions and groups are defined in the permissions.config file. Which groups users belog to is defined by the user's credentials which may be fetched from Signifikant's database or from external solutions as an Active Directory.
Permissions.config
<Id>1</Id> | This is integer value written in incremental way. |
<Enabled>true</Enabled> | true or false will disable or enable Permission. If false, access control will be turned off for that function and users will be allowed to access the function. |
<Name>MyAccount</Name> | This holds the name of Permission resource. |
<Note>Users can access MyAccount settings</Note> | Description of permission. |
<Groups> | Groups hold the role applied to user. |
To apply permission or enable permission.Write the permission setting as per below example in permission.config file.
<ResourcePermission>
<Id>6</Id>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<Name>MyAccount</Name>
<Note>Users can access My Account settings</Note>
<Groups>
<string>EndClient</string>
</Groups>
</ResourcePermission>
<ResourcePermission>

<Id>8</Id>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<Name>Bulletin </Name>
