Roles

A role is a set of system-wide permissions that you can assign to specific users in specific contexts. The combination of roles and context defines the ability of a specific user to do something on any page. The most common examples are the roles of administrator and user in the context of GoClixy.

How to add a new role?

You can easily add a new role and provide limited access to a user on your website.

  • To add a new role, visit Settings->Roles and click the New Role link.
  • Enter a name for your role in the Role Name field. The name must be in small letters without any space and special characters. E.g. admin.
  • What operations a user can perform under this role, enter that information in the Description field. The Description field is optional, you can keep it blank.
  • Enter a Login Destination URL, for instance, if you want to redirect users to the Pages module, enter admin/content/pages in the Login Destination field. Do not forget to replace admin with your <YOUR ADMIN STRING>.
  • If a login destination is not entered, the user will be redirected to the context selected under the Default Admin Context dropdown field.
  • Check the Default Role checkbox only if you want to assign this role to all new users on their registration.
  • If this role is not permanent, select Yes under the Removable radio group. Keep default or unchecked for a permanent role.
  • Click the Save Role button to save and assign permissions to this role.
