Learn how to manage user roles and permissions through the Admin Dashboard
This article will cover how to assign users specific roles and manage the permissions associated with them. Roles can escalate privileges for users' accounts or remove specific functionality based on role permissions.
User management
Navigate to user management by selecting Administration then Users on the left-hand side panel.
This dashboard displays information regarding all users in your 6clicks team account.
User roles
Roles in 6clicks are used to group users' permissions and access on the 6clicks application. By default, the first user to create a team in 6clicks is the Administrator. Subsequent users are then assigned the "User" role. This can be changed as per the below Role Management.
To change a user's role in the User Management dashboard:
- Choose the user
- Then select edit
- Go to roles
This account has access to four different roles, this user has been assigned the "User" role. To change roles, simply select the roles required and then save.
Role management
Roles can be created, edited, and deleted as required under the roles page.
Select Roles under Administration.
Out of the box, 6clicks comes with the roles Administrator, Advisor, Contributor, Owner, and User, as shown below.
Edit a role
To edit a Role, select an entry, then click Edit.
Check Default to assign the role to new users by default.
If you are using an external Identity Provider (IdP), such as Okta or Active Directory, you can map the role to the name of a group in the IdP. If you leave the IdP Group Name field blank, by default the role will map to the group "6clicks-role-{roleName}".
Under the Permissions tab, all 6clicks functionality can be assigned and changed as per the Role requirements.
For a detailed description of each permission, refer to this article.
New role
Select New Role to create a blank role that can be assigned any required permissions, name, and saved as required.
The new role can now be assigned to users.
