Users, Roles and PermissionsUsersExample of Users:

Users may have a role to modify a workflow or make changes to a Location.
A User can have multiple roles and each of these roles may be associated with a context, which can be the Account, any Retailer and/or any Location within the account.

RolesA User can take on Roles which are a set of permissions for a user. Custom Roles can be created to meet unique client requirements.Example Roles:

STORE_ASSISTANT
DEVELOPER
ADMIN

PermissionsA user's permissions determine which of the modules they have access to within the Fluent platform. Users with user management permissions can:

SEARCH and LIST users.
ADD new users.
MODIFY existing users.

User, Roles, and Permissions management are done using GraphQL API. Clients are able to create, better manage and assign roles according to the job functions in their organization. The role Manager and User Manager roles will provide system administrators with the ability to create roles, assign roles to users, revoke roles from users and assign permissions to roles according to their organizations' functional structure.

Customizing Permissions

Permissions cannot currently be customised and are set by the platform.

A User can have multiple roles and each of these roles may be associated with a context, which can be the Account, any Retailer and/or any Location within the account.
Roles can have multiple permissions.
A role can only have one context.
