Set roles for admins to update other user rows

User Service
1

Hi there,

Is it possible to allow an admin group to update other users information in the console?

I understand about the ownderid needing to be set in order for one admin to update it but this can be tedious going back after and entering the ownerid.

Can multiple ownerid’s be set too?

Thanks

Hi Craig,

Are you talking about updating user information in the console or via the APIs?

If the former, you as the app developer, can update any data record in the console regardless of what ownerId shows.

Hi, Rahul!

It’s meant that application admins manage users information through console. Of course, you can change some values using API, but due to security reasons some features are available only through the console.

Using ACL feature for Users table you can protect it so only admins will have access to it. Here is an example:

  1. Navigate to “Users” -> “Security and permissions”
  2. Add role “admin”
  3. Register yourself as user to the application
  4. Assign yourself role “admin”: go to Data tab, find yourself in users table and choose this row, click on button “User roles” on the top of the window, check the checkbox near “admin” role, click “Save”
  5. Switch to “Table schema and permissions”
  6. On the left choose “Roles permissions”
  7. Grand access for role “admin” for all actions and deny access for all other roles

That’s it. Now after logging in ( as user ) to you app under your account you’ll be able to execute all actions you need in Users table, but other users will not.
The other task is implementing functions you’d like to execute on client. Would it be a separate application, or a part of your main app - depends on you.
