Security Concepts

Security as provided by the FOMUserBundle is anchored on these base concepts:

• Users

• Roles and Groups

• Access Control Lists

Rights management

Mapbender provides different rights. They refer to the Access Control Lists.

• view - Whether someone is allowed to view the object.

• edit - Whether someone is allowed to make changes to the object.

• delete - Whether someone is allowed to delete the object.

• operator - Whether someone is allowed to perform all of the above actions.

• master - Whether someone is allowed to perform all of the above actions and in addition is allowed to grant any of the above mentioned permissions to others.

• owner - Whether someone owns the object. An owner can perform any of the above actions and grant master and owner permissions.

Assign roles to a user by Users → Edit your User → Security.

Assign a user to another User/Group

1. Edit a user by clicking Security → Users.

2. In the user administration, choose Security.

3. Give users/groups individual rights on the selected user: Add users/groups via the Add users and groups button. Thereafter, set permissions within the rights table.

4. You have now assigned a user/group controlling options over another user account. Test your configuration with the entitled user accounts.
