About roles

[simonabertozzi]

 I want to create a new role (ROLE_DEVELOPER) that is able to create Domains in the Pro version.

How can I do that? Every new role I create has the same menu as the ROLE_USER: i don't want to use ROLE_ADMNISTRATOR.

Best regards,

Simona

These steps describe how to hide the Create > Domain menu for users who are not assigned the role of ROLE_DEVELOPER. If you want to define ROLE_DEVELOPER at the organization level instead of the root level, you have to use a slightly different syntax in the XML file. (see below)

1. Log in as Superuser.
    
2. Create the role, ROLE_DEVELOPER at the root level.
    
3. Create a user, for example userdeveloper.
    
4. Give the userdeveloper the ROLE_DEVELOPER.
5. Give the administrator user and any other user who should be able to create Domains the ROLE_DEVELOPER.
   
   Only users having ROLE_DEVELOPER will be able to create Domains. For example, you probably want jasperadmin or another administrative user to be able to create Domains.
    

1. If you're using Tomcat, open <tomcat>/webapps/jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF/actionModel-navigation.xml. If you're using another application server, find actionModel-navigation.xml and open it.
    
2. Change the following condition testArgs value in the main_create_mutton from "ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR" to "ROLE_DEVELOPER".  See code snippet below.
    
3. Restart Tomcat

 It works! I created ROLE_DEVELOPER at superuser level, and tried to assign it to a new user inside organization_1.

The second option, create ROLE_DEVELOPER at organization's level, doesn't work but this solution suits me just fine (I have the Pro version, so no multitenancy for me ;))

Thank you!

Hi

I also able to do this in version 4.0 but I wasn't able to do the same thing in 4.7. The screen only display "You do not have permission to view this page." Is there an additional permission that I need to enable this?
