Changes to the permissions system

This is still quite fresh, even if some emails have already arrived. The role assignment has been in the PCG for a long time now, and even if there are other plans to standardize the PCG and shop roles, the current reorganisation should come closer to the conditions in the companies.

Roles are set in the PCG in the employee administration or in the customer/net data.

The most important changes:

  • The super access (i. e. the one with a superpassword) doesn’t get a link to the admin-area anymore – this is only for customer support (and therefore better called super-customer)
  • Only logged-in users in admin role, WebDesigner role or the “drivers with privileges” have access to it, and then only to certain areas.
  • WebAdmins = WebDesigner no longer have access to sensitive data under Geo/Stats/Status
  • Driver MUST be in a driver’s role! Previously, the employee assignment was sufficient.

This means that, among other things, the operating data (key figures, statistics) can only be viewed by the correct “administrator”, usually as the manager.

As a side effect, there are now also easier access possibilities to the admin area directly from the PCG. More about this in a later article.
