Accounts
In Accounts you can create, delete and modify the accounts. Accounts are necessary for almost all data associated to persons or organizations. Usually modules either create new accounts when they want to store personal data or use an existing account for which the data should be stored.
General
ID
The id (unique identifier) is automatically generated.
Type
An account can be either a:
Person- or a
Organization
Both types can have the same permissions and functionality. The benefit of Organization is that you can allow other accounts to access your data. One example is a customer account who wants to allow their employees to access their data such as invoices.
Status
An account has the following status:
- Active
- Inactive (usually used for long inactive accounts)
- Timeout (usually used for timeouts in case of bad behavior which will be automatically revoked after a certain time)
- Banned (usually used to disable accounts for an indefinite time)
Username
Name of the account which can be shown in various places instead of the full name.
Name1 - Name3
The name of the account. In some cases 3 names are necessary such as first name, middle name and family name. If more than 3 names are required you have to additionally put them into one of the 3 name fields.
The email field is the main email contact address for the account. This email address will be also used for password recovery.
Password
The password field can be used to overwrite the current account password. If the password gets changed the user will also receive a notification email.
Alternatively click the Reset button and the account will receive an email with a temporary link redirecting the user to a page where he can change the password.
The required password structure is defined in the general settings.
Permissions
Permissions have the following components which can be combined to either address a wide e.g. range of units, applications or modules or in order to address a very specific combination of those.
Unit
The unit this permission is set for. Leave empty to address all units
App
The application this permission is set for. Leave empty to address all applications
Module
The module this permission is set for. Leave empty to address all modules
Type
The type is a module specific subpart which only should be set if the module is defined in the permission. For further information what kind of types are available for a module please refer to the module specific documentation. Usually it refers to a single page of a module.
Element
The element is a module and type specific subpart which only should be set if the type is defined in the permission. For further information what kind of elements are available for a module and type please refer to the module specific documentation. Usually it refers to a section on a module page.
Component
The component is a module, type and element specific subpart which only should be set if the element is defined in the permission. For further information what kind of components are available for a module, type and element please refers to the module specific documentation. Usually it refers to a single input or option in a module.
Permission
The actual permission consists of create (C), read (R), update (U), delete (D), permission (P) options.
Create (C)
This allows a user to create something. Usually a user should also have (R) permission in this case.
Read (R)
This allows a user to read/see something.
Update (U)
This allows a user to update/modify something. Usually a user should also have (R) permission in this case.
Delete (D)
This allows a user to delete/remove something. Usually a user should also have (R) permission in this case.
Permission (P)
This allows a user to change permissions. Usually a user should also have (C, R, U, D) permissions because the user could just give himself these permissions anyways. Only selected users should have this permission even if it is only specified for a specific module, type, element or component.
