💻Creating and using Roles
For a demo example of following steps, here is the policy timestamp: 1675164531.823309003
User roles usage in Policies
An example of creating and using Roles in Policy
Switch to the Roles tab
Create 2 new roles called ‘Example role 1’ and ‘Example role 2’
In the root container create 4 more ’interfaceContainerBlock’ container called ‘no_role’, ‘owner’, ‘role_1’ and ‘role_2’
Note: By default all containers would have ‘Any Role’ set and thus they would be visible to all users (with all roles)
Change the ‘Permissions’ properties in each container in the following way:
no_role: No Role
owner: Owner
role_1: Example role 1
role_2: Example role 2
This would result in the following visibility of containers:
The first container (called ’no role’) would be visible only to new users which have no role assigned to them
The ‘owner’ container would be visible only to the Standard Registry which created (or imported) this policy
The ‘role 1’ container would be visible only to users with ‘Example role 1’
The ‘role 2’ container would be visible only to users with ‘Example role 2’
Add a ‘policyRolesBlock’ to the ‘no_role’ container and name it ‘choose_role’
Since this block is located inside the container ‘no_role’ which has ‘No role’ permission setting it would only be visible to new users without an assigned role.
The ‘Available Roles’ property allows to configure which roles would be available to users to chose from at this stage of the Policy workflow
Select ‘Example role 1’ and ‘Example role 2’
Add ‘informationBlock’ to other containers just to display results
Results:
New users would end up on the policy choice form upon entering the policy
After the selection of the role users would see only 1 container corresponding to their roles
The owner of the Policy (the Standard Registry user) upon executing the policy would skip the role selection form and would immediately end-up in the corresponding container
