Entity role assignments
Abstract

Check out this article and learn how to assign users to the i4connected entities, such as Sites, Areas, Organizational Units, Devices, and Signals.

The Entity role assignments panel is opened by selecting the Users tile of a hierarchical entity or by clicking the Users button under the edit panel of an entity.

The i4connected Entities allowing role assignments are the following:

The Entity role assignments panel can be accessed only by users having at least the View users permission enabled.

Warning

The View users permission alone does not grant the user the possibility to manage the Entity's permissions and assign new roles. The list of assigned users will be grayed out and no further management operations will be possible.

To manage hierarchical entities and other entities' role assignments, additional permissions are required.

entity_role_assignments_panel.jpg

The Entity role assignments panel lists all the users assigned to that Entity, like cards in a scrollable list view. Each user card provides the following information:

Entity user role assignment card

  • the picture of the user;

  • the addressing title, username, and name;

  • the list of user roles, available for that user in the context of the currently viewed entity.

While scrolling through the list of users, under the Entity role assignments panel, two types of assignments can be recognized:

dirrect_assignment_vs_inherited_assignment.jpg

Direct assignment vs inherited assignment

  • Direct assignment - the directly assigned users can be removed from the selected Entity and implicitly managed from the roles point of view.

  • Inherited assignment - the users inherited from higher hierarchical authorities are accompanied by the Inheritance_simbol.jpg symbol. These users cannot be detached from a lower hierarchical level, but their roles and permissions can be edited.

As all the i4connected lists, the Entity role assignments list can also be filtered, by typing in the search field the username/name of the user or only a part of it. The list is automatically filtered to display only the relevant results.
