Access Rights configuration
Terminology plug-in has three types of permissions, which allow to restrict the access to the Terminology plugin for some roles so that only allowed users can view and/or manage terms in Terminology:
-
Neither visible nor editable: Terminology plugin is not available in the sidebar
-
Visible: then the user can access the plugin via the sidebar and only view its content as well as use filtering, sorting, etc. There is no possibility to add/edit/remove terms and sentences in the center view as well as create and edit glossaries on the left.
-
Editable: the user can view and use all existing functions (add/edit/remove terms and sentences in the center view; create/rename/delete glossaries on the left view; export/import terminology database)
To set up user permissions for the Terminology plug-in:
-
Navigate to “Security” module
-
Expand “Sidebars” section
-
Expand “TOP” or “BOTTOM” section in accordance with the location to which the corresponding Terminology plug-in has been added
-
Find the target Terminology entity and click on it
-
Enable checkbox “Activate Access Right Permission”
-
Mark the roles which should have the only “Visible” type of access to Terminology in column “Visible”
-
Mark the roles which should have the “Editable” type of access to Terminology in column “Edit”
-
Save Security Permissions.
As a result the roles will have “Visible” or “Editable” access to Terminology correspondingly. The rest of the roles will not be able to open Terminology.
