This module was written to extend the standard functionality regarding users
|
|
and groups management.
|
|
It helps creating well-defined user roles and associating them to users.
|
|
|
|
It can become very hard to maintain a large number of user profiles over time,
|
|
juggling with many technical groups. For this purpose, this module will help
|
|
you to:
|
|
|
|
* define functional roles by aggregating low-level groups,
|
|
* set user accounts with the predefined roles (roles are cumulative),
|
|
* update groups of all relevant user accounts (all at once),
|
|
* ensure that user accounts will have the groups defined in their roles
|
|
(nothing more, nothing less). In other words, you can not set groups
|
|
manually on a user as long as there is roles configured on it,
|
|
* activate/deactivate roles depending on the date (useful to plan holidays, etc)
|
|
* get a quick overview of roles and the related user accounts.
|
|
|
|
That way you make clear the different responsabilities within a company, and
|
|
are able to add and update user accounts in a scalable and reliable way.
