Oort users​

The users of the Oort application can be found on the main page in the back-office. This list shows all the users in Oort and their roles at a global level.

List of users at global level

The roles define the permissions on a global level (instead of application level). Meaning, which operations the user can perform in the back-office. Such as: which applications the user can see or edit, which actions can be performed on other users…

info

The definition of the described permissions are defined in the global roles.

Application users​

All the applications created inside Oort, have a set of users, which is a subset of the global users. The users are invited to an application and depending on their roles, they can perform actions inside the app. Users can be edited by an admin in this view. Users can only see the applications, they are invited to.

User Roles​

User Roles define the permissions a user will have. This includes, which applications and pages can be seen. Which actions can be performed on workflows and forms. For a detailed understanding of roles and permissions, refer to the part in the documentation.

User Attributes​

User Attributes offer an extension to roles. For an application, attribute-categories are defined and then specific attributes are assigned to the user. E.g. the category could be COUNTRY and the attribute for a specific user would be SPAIN . Adding attributes to the user, allows for creating subsets on which specific permissions can be created.
