Multiple Roles for Workareas

sunil_j

Hi,

Is it possible to assign multiple roles to a single user for multiple workareas?

To explain in detail :

I have a branch say "Argent", on that branch I have 3 Workareas say wa1, wa2, wa3.

My requirement is that i shoud be able to add a user as an author on wa1, the same user as editor on wa2 and as an administrator on wa3. Is it possible to achieve this feature in TeamSite ?

User Name : Jack


wa1 author

wa2 editor

wa3 Administrator

Will appreciate one's quick response on the same.
Thanx and Regards
Sunil

No, I don't think that's possible. You could have a user with both author & editor capabilities and restrict the user from "being an editor" in wa1 if you didn't give the user a workarea in that branch (i.e., you used filesystem permissions to prohibit the user from acting as an editor in that WA if they forget they're supposed to be an author in wa1)

However, if you set up a user to be an author, editor AND admin, there's really nothing short of a very complicated permissions scheme that'll let you force that user to behave. What you're looking for is a way to assign a user a "role-for-branch" permission, and that doesn't explicitly exist in TeamSIte.

You're probably better off creating 2 (or maybe 3!) different user accounts.
