How to assign roles to a user?

We assume you have already created a user.

  • Click on the user name “user1” as below:
  • Click on the “Edit” menu as below:
  • Select the appropriate System roles for the user.
  • Select the appropriate Functional roles for the user.
  • For full access to the platform, do select:
    • Production API user
    • Data Analyst
    • All Annotation components
  • Don’t forget to save!

When assigning roles to users a few key principles must be kept in mind that we try to outline here:

  • Roles need to be assigned to users. Roles are not assigned to projects or user groups.
  • Users can be members of one and only one group – therefore it is not foreseen to be, say, a power users on project A but a default user on project B.
  • However, there is a workaround: A project can be shared with a power user in “read-only” mode. Then this users, although they normally have more advanced permissions, will only be able read in this project A that has been shared with them.
