Security roles and customization

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 389

Hi all

What is the practice to organize security roles? I am mostly working with small clients. These clients have users that often need several roles. The latest project I have created new roles for all the roles that the customer need. The roles are often named like "<Client> - Salesclerk", "<Client> - Warehouse and so on. The new roles are not created from scratch, they will contain standard roles. The advantage of organize it like this is that it is quiet clear for all which roles the client are using. Do you see any disadvantage in organize the roles like this?

Best regards

Erik

    Hi,

    It is advised to copy the original roles and do the changes rather than to create new one.

    Hi EGrotberg,

    No, I do not see any disadvantage in this approach. In fact this is the same method I do apply for custom roles with some standard duties and privileges; by duplicating standard role then modifying them.

    There are advantages and disadvantages to all choices.

    Creating a parent role with the standard roles as subroles, works will in certain scenarios, in my experience especially in smaller organisations without the need for high levels of control or segregation of duties.

    The drawback of using standard elements (roles and duties primarily) is a loss of control over what people will actually be able to do in the system. The benefit is that the implementation will usually be quite fast and the maintenance is low.
