To help you understand how to best put to work the "User roles and permissions" feature in BEE Plugin, we created this page. Its objective is to provide a frame of reference as you decide which user roles to create in your applications, and which permissions to assign to them.
First, we created some hypothetical roles by using all application combinations of the available user permissions.
| Role | Lock rows | Edit locked rows | Lock modules | Edit locked modules |
| admin | y | y | y | y |
| designer | n | y | n | y |
| designer2 | n | y | y | y |
| copy | n | n | y | y |
| modules | n | n | n | y |
| rows | n | y | n | n |
| user | n | n | n | n |
Then, we created a table with a number of possible "actions" and see which user role would have access to which actions. This allows you to map a certain combination of permissions (from above) to a specific task carried out in the BEE editor.
