Managing Permissions

Use the Permission Management option to manage user roles.

In SmartMapper Business UI, what permission a user has is decided by the assigned user role. A user role is a collection of permission defined for entities and relationships. It determines which relationship or entity a user has permission for and what the permission is.

Different users are assigned with different user roles. A user only has the permission defined in the assigned user role.

User roles are defined in a permission file. To add more user roles, complete the following tasks:
  1. Adding User Roles
  2. Uploading the Permission File
Note: If an ER Model is synchronized after the SmartMapper Business UI server is started, the newly added relationships and entities have no permission assigned by default. Also, for common users, the newly added relationships and entities are invisible. The administrator needs to change the permission for each added relationship and entity in the permission file, and then upload the permission file to SmartMapper Business UI.
  • Adding User Roles
    A user role defines which relationship or entity a user has permission for and what the permissions is. With SmartMapper Business UI, the administrator can add more user roles to assign to users.
  • Uploading the Permission File
    The user roles defined in the role_permissions.xml permission file are available to select only when the permission file is uploaded to SmartMapper Business UI.
