HI,
I am trying to figure out how I might constrain permissions a on role based on a business function or site/location on a user's profile. So in other words in the how to constrain role permissions in a user context based on the user's profile.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Patty
Hi Patricia,
I think the way to go is to create a dynamic audience based on profile fields and then assign them with a new role in the system. In the settings for every audience, there is a tab Assign role.
However, I'm not sure if the general approach matters - whether you should give a special role to those with restricted access or those with elevated access. I know that the latter works, but I kind of gathered you want to implement the former. Not sure if you want to go that road, but maybe it's also a possibility.
Best,
Vlad
Thanks Vlad!
I would like to create group of trainers for a category of courses. So those people could have elevated permissions for as a trainer for any course/program in that category.
Business use case: once people have taken a group of courses they can be deemed a trainer for that set of courses. The courses are all in the same category.
Learners will be assigned the courses (or programs.)
For people being deemed a trainer - I created category audience and assign that audience the role of trainer. (So they have both a learner and trainer role for the courses (or programs.)
It seems to work...do you see any issues with that approach?
All my best, Patty
