Arki User Groups & Their Functions

In Origen, user groups play a vital role in managing user access and permissions. This user guide will provide an overview of the user groups and explain why it is important to create a user with no login for the blog and portfolio sections. These group has been specially established for Arkigroup website use case.

Public Group

The Public group represents the general audience or visitors of your Origen website. Users in this group have limited access and permissions. They can view the publicly available content but cannot perform any administrative tasks or access restricted areas of the site.

Manager Group

The Manager group consists of users who have elevated privileges and are responsible for managing the Origen website. Users in this group have access to the backend administration area, where they can perform tasks such as managing content, users, menu items, configuring apps, and controlling site settings.

• Backend: Users in the Backend sub-group within the Manager group have full access to the backend administration area. They can perform all administrative tasks and have the highest level of control over the website.
• Content Manager: Users in the Content Manager sub-group within the Manager group have specific privileges related to managing content. They can create, edit, and publish blog items & projects, categories, and other content elements within the Origen system.

No Login Group

The No Login group is a special group created for users who do not require access to the Origen administration area. They are typically used for specific purposes like assigning authors for blog posts or project managers for portfolio items. Users in this group do not have login credentials and cannot access the backend.

Creating a user with no login for the blog and portfolio sections offers several benefits in terms of keeping related information well-structured:

• Author Selection: In the blog section, a user with no login can be assigned as the author of a blog post. This allows a data entry person to select the appropriate author without granting them full backend access. It helps keep the authorship information associated with each blog post consistent and organized.
• Project Manager Assignment: In the portfolio section, a user with no login can be designated as the project manager for a specific portfolio item. This ensures that project management information is properly attributed and easily retrievable within the Origen system.

By utilizing the No Login group for these purposes, you can maintain a structured and efficient workflow while ensuring that sensitive administrative areas are restricted to authorized personnel only and still benefit from relational database features.

Conclusion

Understanding the different user groups in Origen and their functions is essential for effective user management and access control. The Public group represents website visitors, the Manager group includes backend administrators, and the No Login group is useful for assigning authors or project managers without providing full backend access.

Creating a user with no login for the blog and portfolio sections helps maintain a well-structured system by associating relevant information with the appropriate content elements. It allows data entry personnel to assign authors or project managers while keeping the backend restricted to authorized users.
