Introduction

The following concept for assigning rights and permissions is merely a recommendation.

The ability to assign rights to users and groups is a standard feature of ELO. In addition to this standard feature, users can also assign permissions to individual entries and elements. The objective is to assign users as many permissions as necessary but as few as possible to give them access to entries and data.

You can assign rights and permissions at the user level but in most cases, this is not very effective. It makes more sense to organize users with the same rights into groups and to assign rights and permissions based on these groups.

This documentation presents a logical method for structuring groups for assigning rights and permissions. The intention is to keep the structure as simple as possible so that it can be implemented in ELO without any problems.

The rights and permissions in the ELO repository should correspond to the tasks of the users in the company. The following should be taken into consideration:

• What tasks do the employees have within the company?
• In what departments do the employees work?
• What information and documents do the employees need to complete their tasks within the company?
