    Description

      Is there any Documentation for How to create the Platform-Permissions in Roles?

      I have added an "Normal User" to a Role "Worker", but the User has some Restrictions.
      I would like to have the User be able to create Alert-Checks and set the Geolocation on Devices.

      Is there any way to configure these?

          No, my initial test was with a global read user.

          Global read can see everything, so the queries are quite simple. Normal users we have to run quite a lot of queries to work out what the user can see, this might be too slow on this page as we'd have to query basically every table in the database with a query containing every id of every entity of that type the user has permissions to see.

          This is usually the main scaling issue for the web ui.

          Do you need any information / screenshots from my side?

          It was in the Message before you changed it.

          Hmm. I can sort of replicate this, it seems to only affect normal users.

          I suspect this might end up being a technical limitation, I'll have to investigate the queries that generate this navbar, as it might be too slow to run the very long queries for per-entity/per-user permissions.

          Hi,

          sadly it doesn't work for me.

          The Admin User has rights on all monitored Systems. > Navbar-Options are shown
          The normal User has view-rights on all monitored Systems. -> It isn't shown

          Do i have to configure something special?
          Adding Read/Write on the Systems doesn't help either.

          The navbar options are autogenerated based on the entities that exist and are visible by the user. If the user can't see any entities of this type, the option isn't displayed.

          The user level is only used when deciding to display editing options on navbars and menus.

          Thanks,

          adam.

          Hi,

          if you would take a look at the uploaded images.

          Dark-Mode (Admin-User): Under Alert-Types there are: Device, Storage, Processor, Memory ...
          Light-Mode (Normal-User: Under Alert-Types there is only Device

          Is there a way to get the other Alert-Types in the view of the Normal User?
          With that it is easier to filter the Alerts.
