Add Customer Permissions

Use Add Customer Permissions to assign rights to individuals and groups using the specified Users datasource. CommonSpot allows you to selectively assign customer administration rights. This dialog displays in edit mode for existing customers. Access this dialog by expanding Security in the left panel of the CommonSpot Customer Administration Dashboard, selecting Customer General Security . Click Add User(s) or Add Group(s) to set permissions for new customers. Click the edit icon to modify permissions for existing users or groups.

This dialog displays the following options:

Create Groups: Grants the ability to create new groups dialog for the customer site.
Create Users: Grants the ability to create new users for the customer site.
Customer Administration: Grants full access to all Customer Administration functions. Selecting this option automatically enables all other options.
Enable Logout: When checked (default), displays the logout command.
Enable User Profile Editing: Enables/disables user editing of user profiles. NOTE: This permission is granted (to all authenticated users) when a new customer is added or with a “clean-slate” install. Administrators who want all users to be able to edit their own permissions should grant this permission to Authenticated Users.
Manage Contributors: Grants access to the Contributor Management dialog.
Manage Groups: Grants access to the Manage Groups dialog for the customer site, for creating, deleting, and assigning permissions to groups.
Manage Users: Grants access to the Manage Users dialog for creating, deleting, and assigning permissions to individual users at the customer site.
