Permissions can be assigned for every fact on the factline Community Server. Permissions are given to
groups, and only in special cases, also to specific users. Basically you must decide between
two types of groups.
1. System groups:
These are groups that are created as a standard by the system (circles with full, dark lines in the figure). No users have to be assigned to these groups by the pAdmin, since the
allocation takes place automatically.
| Universe | All registered (= users) and all unregistered (= guests) users -> guests + users = universe |
| Guests | Only users that are not registered, e.g. not logged in |
| Users | All users that are registered on the respective platform (not a memeber of the Main group) |
| Platform Main Group | This group contains every user that has registered on your
platform. The system will automatically assign the platform name as title of this group. The pAdmin can change this. |
2. Self-defined groups:
These are groups set up and maintained by the pAdmin (circles circumscribed by dashes in the figure).
For each platform as many user-groups can be defined as desired. The definition
of which groups are available takes place via the platform administrator (pAdmin). Every group can be
assigned to as many users as desired, and also the other way around; users can be assigned to several
different groups.
The hierarchy while working with groups:
The platform administrator sets up groups and decides on platform levels which groups have which
access rights. So, for example, the platform administrator can define certain groups to have no access
to the service "factchat", etc. Furthermore, the platform administrator can define a standard
permissioning pre-selection for the publication of information (see Assign permissions to groups).
The users assign permissions for individual pieces of facts, as soon as they create or work on
a fact (see Assign permissions to groups).
