Standard Roles

Information

• This topics provides an explanation of what roles are and which roles are stored in PLANTA project by default.

In PLANTA project, roles are grouping units which are used for rights management. A role gives the users to whom it is assigned access to one or more groups of modules and menu items. Such groups are called work areas.

A work area consists of at least one module or menu item, however, usually they are composed of several modules or module panels and/or menu items. There are pure module work areas and pure menu item work areas.  

To find out which roles are assigned to the users and which work areas and modules these roles comprise, please refer to your User menu.
