List Permissions Configuration

For example, it is necessary to give full access to a new list to all users related only to a specific role, and at the same time, to restrict the vehicle card managing access rights in the list for one of the users related to this role. For this purpose:

  1. In the Roles item of the Settings section assign all required LPR permissions to the role, including:
    • View Vehicle Lists
    • Add New Vehicle to List
    • Edit Vehicle List Elements
    • Delete Vehicle List Elements
  2. In the Users item of the Settings section assign the selected role to all required users
  3. In the Create List pop-up of the Lists item open the Permissions tab

Configure the parameters in the Permissions tab:

  1. In the Roles block, add the required role and check all access rights boxes
  2. In the Users block, add the required user and check only the View Vehicle Lists access right box
  3. Finish the list configuration and save it

Once the list is created, all users with the selected role can view the new list and manage vehicle cards in it. At the same time, the additionally selected user can only view the new list but cannot manage vehicle cards in this list.

  • User permissions are with higher priority than Role permissions.
  • The sequence of access rights validation in the list by the system:
    1. Global permissions
    2. User permissions
    3. Role permissions
    4. Default permissions
