Rights management for Backendusers

Administration -> Rights management

Administrators of a framework agreement installation have access to the administration area in Converia and can access additional settings.

Creating a new backend account

To create a new backend account (e.g. for customer access or new colleagues), first click on Add entry, select the appropriate user group (user groups are set up by the support team in consultation with the customer when the installation is set up) and fill in the mandatory information.

We recommend using simple user names that users can easily remember.

Example: firstname.surname

Once the personal details have been filled in and saved, the account can be linked to one or more desired event(s) (Fig. 2).

Rights management

The access rights of users or groups can be modified via Rights management. To do this, select the desired account/group and select Admin page in the drop-down menu (Fig. 3). The access rights for certain areas or menu entries can then be adjusted. The authorisations are controlled via a ‘traffic light system’. The first traffic light determines wether the user/ group can view the corresponding menu entries and the second traffic light wether they can make edits/ changes to the corresponding menu entries.

Grey traffic light: The authorisation is inherited from the parent element (this can be a menu item, an authorisation group or a parent group). This means that if the parent element is green, you have access to the grey traffic light below it; if the parent element is red, you have no access. If the topmost group in the topmost element is grey, the menu item is visible as if it were green.

Red or green traffic lights are used to overwrite existing, higher-level rights. This means that sub-items can be explicitly permitted or access can be denied.
