Manage roles & permissions

These steps guide you through the process of configuring and overseeing roles and permissions in the ValidMind Platform UI. By carefully defining what users can and cannot do, you can ensure that the right individuals have the appropriate level of access to resources and can perform the correct actions.

Prerequisites

To perform these steps, you must be a group administrator or a superuser.

Add new roles

To add a new role:

1. Log in to the ValidMind UI.

2. Under User Permissions in the sidebar, select Roles & Permissions.

3. Click on the Add New Role button to initiate the role creation process.

   • Specify a name for the new role.
   • Define the role’s description and purpose.
   • Assign permissions to the role based on the actions it should be allowed to perform.
   • Save the new role configuration.

4. Verify that the new role appears in the list of available roles, ensuring it is correctly set up for use.

Manage permissions

To manage the permissions for existing roles:

1. Log in to the ValidMind UI.

2. Navigate to the Roles & Permissions page.

3. Locate the role for which you want to manage permissions.

   • Click on the role to access its details.

4. Within the role’s details, you can:

   • View the current permissions assigned to the role.
   • Add new permissions by specifying the actions or resources the role should have access to.
   • Remove permissions that are no longer necessary for the role.
   • Save the updated permissions configuration for the role.

Be careful when modifying permissions to ensure they align with the role’s intended responsibilities and access requirements.
