Groups
A generic way to categorise users such that a user in a group automatically has the permissions granted to that group. A user can belong to zero or more groups. The admin should manually add a few groups via the administration interface and may assign them permissions, for example a recommended configuration:
- admin:
- contrary to what the name suggests, it does not need to have all permissions from the system; it can even have no permissions for the administration site, but for example all permissions related to assets activities though the browser user interface.
- manager:
- a subset of the admin group's permissions
- user:
- for example it could only upload assets (the permission is necessary for viewing the current assets as well), annotate assets, export frames, rough cut edit, etc.
