How do I create a new role for users?

There are several ways to create a new role in Laposta: by first creating a new role and connecting users to it, or by creating a new set of rights for a user and defining these as a new role.

You can assign each role to an unlimited number of users. You can define a maximum of seven new roles yourself. You can also delete self-defined roles that have not been assigned to anyone.

New role through user rights

On the page Login → Users, you can create a new role per user. To do so, click on the role to the right of the relevant subscriber.

You can now select an existing role or create a new role for this subscriber. To do so, select the last option (New role) and check the preferred rights.

For this, you can optionally create a pre-selection by loading all rights, no rights, or the rights of a standard role. Next, name the role and add a brief description (this can be seen by other users), and save the role. The user in question immediately has this new role. You can now assign this role to other users as well.

New role via Users → Roles

Go to the Roles page via Login → Users → Roles. You will see an overview of all existing roles in your account. Click on 'New role'.

In the next screen, you can determine the rights for this role. To do so, you can make a pre-selection from a role that is in our application by default, or you can select (all) and deselect (none) all rights. When you have named the role and added a brief description, you can save this new role.

In the overview, this role will now be under 'Own roles'. When you click 'Details' (to the right of the role) you can change the rights for this role. You will see which users have this role and you can delete the role if it has not been assigned to any user in the account.

You can assign the new role to a user by going to the page Users → Manage. Here, click the name of the role for the relevant subscriber, and select the preferred role in the overview, where the new role (with description) is now visible.
