Access Control

Getting Started

TheocBase uses role-based access control for users that have access to the shared data in the cloud. Roles provide a set of permissions. Thus a person assigned to a certain role is granted the set of permissions provided by that role.

By default, each user is automatically assigned to the basic <strong>Publisher</strong> role. The exception to this is the one person who shares the data file. That person is always assigned the <strong>Administrator</strong> role. It is also possible to assign the <strong>Administrator</strong> role to an additional user to assist with administrator functions.

The administrator’s role centers around maintaining and setting up the basic environment. This includes granting other users and himself any roles needed to accomplish the tasks related to that user’s assignments in the congregation.

Note:

The <strong>Administrator</strong> role does NOT inherently include all other permissions. This is in order to allow the owner of the cloud storage to work safely with the data files while limiting his access to only the necessary information. In case of a need, though, he can temporarily grant himself more roles/permissions to fix an issue.

The following list provides the available roles with their respective permissions:

<strong>Publisher:</strong> View and print midweek and weekend meeting schedule; view the congregation's territory; view special events
