Proposal

This ticket, very related to ticket #2039 is to discuss an collect the requirements fro the implementation of a Profile based configuration for Users.

For what collected so far profiles should:

  • Allow definition of Users profiles to organize unified privileges per-profile;
  • Simplify users configuration replacing the current implementation that enables to change permissions per-users
  • Require administrators to select a profile when creating users
  • Enabling users to change the profile when editing users
  • Be implemented with no breaking changes with respect to existing configurations;

Following this ideas the advantage will be:

  • To make it possible for administrators to configure priviledges of users with same priviledges with a simplified and unified procedure
  • To be able to get automatically reflected revision of the priviledges upon reconfiguration of the users profile on users configured

To implement non-breaking changes for existing users it is expected we could:

  • Create automatically a profile for each existing user in the name of the exiting user and configured with the permissions currently associated to the existing user.
  • Administrators of the existing setups after migration will have the possibility to continue using the system without applying any reconfiguration or decide at any time to create a single profile for their users where to configure properly a single user profile for each user role and assign them to their users (e.g. creating Admin Level 1, Admin Level 2, Recipients Level 1, Recepient Level 2)profiles to ender different levels of priviledges)
