Introduction
Welcome to our guide on managing Permission Levels in the Empress system. Empress uses permissions to control access to different areas of the system, ensuring that only authorized users can perform certain actions.
Introduction: The Importance of Permission Levels
In Empress, permissions are set at different levels for each role, which allows you to fine-tune access controls for different users. However, it’s important to set these permission levels in the right order. This guide will guide you through this process, helping you avoid common errors and maximize the effectiveness of Empress’s access control features.
Understanding Permission Levels in Empress
In Empress, Permission Levels are numbered from 0 upwards. Each user role must first have permission at Perm Level 0 before permissions at higher levels can be set. For example, you can’t set permissions for a role at Perm Level 2 unless permissions have already been set at Perm Level 0 and Perm Level 1.
If you try to set permissions in the wrong order, you’ll see an error message like this one:
For System Manager (or any other role) at level 2 (or another level) in Customer (or any other document) in row 8: Permission at level 0 must be set before higher levels are set.
This error message means that you’ve tried to set a higher permission level for a role (in this case, the System Manager role) without first setting the lower levels.
Fixing Permission Level Errors
To fix this error, you can either:
- Set permissions for the role at Perm Level 0, then set permissions at higher levels, or
- Remove the permissions you set at the higher levels, then set permissions starting at Perm Level 0.
Once you’ve done this, you can continue to set permissions for that role at higher levels.
Conclusion: Enhancing Business Operations with Permission Levels
Understanding and properly managing Permission Levels in Empress is crucial for maintaining secure, efficient business operations. By setting permissions in the right order, you’ll avoid errors and ensure that the right people have access to the right parts of the system.
