Users roles

AndreaMarchionni

Hi,
I am playing with new users and their roles: "administrator", "manager", "operator"...

But I don't understand how they wors. I mean: if I create a new user "pincopallo" as operator, he can not create any calendar event... Or add a new inventory item...

The same also if "pincopallo" is promoted to manager...

I tried also to add the respective group in "group membership" form, but nothing is changed.

Can you explain me the right roles to add?

Thanks in advance.
Andrea

UPDATE:
I added "pincopallo" to the members of the specific space (for example "calendar") and now "pincopallo" is able to add an event... I have also marked the respective permission in /admin/people/permissions.

However, I don't know how to let the permission to add and edit a new inventory item yet...

Hi Andrea,
ok I found a little strange settings for inventory content. It's also part of "Organic Groups" and this overwright your permissions.

1) Go to /admin/structure/types/manage/lab_inventory/fields and delete Group audience field from field list. This should remove relationship between organic groups and inventory content type. Then, the permissions will be based primarily on /admin/people/permissions page. It is a five rows - Create, Edit own, Edit any, Delete own, Delete any.

2) To see Administration menu for new user, go to Administration page with default administrator and click on "Members" from left hover toolbar. Add new user to Administration space as member.

Same siutation is with Calendar and Wiki space. To enable create new events or create new documnet page in Wiki add users as members to respective spaces in "Members" tab.

I solved this bug in development and add instructions how to use in Help. New release of FreeLAB will have implemented this features.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
