Overview
This flow describes how to change a custom role in MANSOQ. It also describes how to clone a role.
MANSOQ includes system roles, such as Doctor. You cannot change a system role. Clone the system role, then adjust the permissions of the copy. The original role stays the same for all other users.
Pre-requisites
- You are a super administrator in MANSOQ.
- The role that you want to change or clone is in the roles list.
Permissions
MANSOQ does not control role management with a permission. Only a super administrator can edit or clone a role.
Steps
1. Open the roles list
- Open the Admin sidebar.
- Select RBAC.
- Select Roles.
MANSOQ shows each role as a card. A system role shows a System badge and a lock icon.
2. Open the role menu
Click the menu icon on the role card. The menu shows Edit and Clone.
Note: The menu of a system role shows only Clone. You cannot change the name, description, contexts, or permissions of a system role.
3. Edit a custom role
- Select Edit on the card of a custom role.
- MANSOQ opens the role form with the current values.
- Change the Name, Description, Contexts, or Permissions.
- Click Update Role.
To close the form without a change, click Cancel.
| Component | What it captures |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the role. |
| Description | The purpose of the role. |
| Contexts | The levels at which the role applies. |
| Permissions | The actions that the role allows. |
4. Clone a role
- Select Clone on the card of any role. You can clone a system role.
- MANSOQ opens the role form with the contexts and the permissions of the original role.
- MANSOQ sets the name to "
{original name}(Copy)". - Change the name and the permissions of the new role.
- Click Create Role.
Expected Outcome
- MANSOQ saves your changes to the custom role.
- After a clone, MANSOQ adds a new custom role to the roles list. You can edit that role.
- The original role keeps its name, contexts, and permissions.
