Managing Roles

In AppBase Eccentex, managing roles refers to the process of defining and assigning different levels of access and permissions to users within the platform. This helps ensure that users have appropriate privileges based on their responsibilities and job functions.

Here are some key aspects of managing roles on AppBase Eccentex:

1. Role Definition: Administrators can create custom roles based on the specific requirements of their organization. Roles can be defined to represent different job positions, departments, or levels of authority within the application.
2. Permission Assignment: Each role can be assigned a set of permissions that determine what actions and functionalities a user with that role can access. Permissions may include creating, editing, or deleting records, accessing specific modules or features, and managing settings.
3. Role Assignment: Once roles and permissions are defined, administrators can assign users to specific roles. Users can have multiple roles if necessary, allowing them to perform different functions within the application.

Roles control access to features and capabilities in applications and components. After access has been granted to a role, all the groups or users assigned to the role are granted the access.
