Administrators Only
Only users in the Administrators group can manage user groups and permissions

Manage User Groups and Permissions

The Optipub user permissions management system is based on pre-defined user groups. Users added to a group inherit the permissions of that group. Any group can be modified to fit your needs. You can also create new groups and assign permissions to them.

User groups are meant to define permissions for a specific task or set of tasks. Users should be assigned to as many user groups as needed to accomplish their responsibilities.

Permissions

User groups have a pre-defined set of permissions. These permissions are grouped by API call. Every API call has a set of permission functions such as create, edit, update, and destroy.

Permission Functions

The listed functions are fundamental to most permissions. There are more functions that are specific to one or a few permissions.

Function	Description
create	create new instance
edit	modify existing instance
destroy	remove existing instance
index	search instances
show	display instances
store	save a newly created instance
update	save modifications to instance
