Roles & permissions
Lean configured authorization system with group access
Short answer
The role model combines exactly one global role with optional group roles for users, keeping rights clear and minimal.
Definition
Everyone holds exactly one global role: user, editor or admin.
Only for users do the additional group roles read and write apply within the groups they belong to.
Editors and admins work system-wide; group roles are not evaluated for them.
Without a clear permission model
Permissions are granted inconsistently, which leads to security risks and friction in daily work.
With role and rights management in intraOnline
Global roles and group roles form a traceable model with clear boundaries of responsibility.
How it works
Role profiles
Assign roles with graduated rights for admins, editors or members.
Group-based access
Assign rights across groups and delegate responsibilities securely.
Feature visibility
Activate or deactivate modules or menu items specifically for each target group.
In practice: editorial team and specialist groups
A member works as a user in two groups with different group roles. An editorial colleague is given the editor role and can work on content system-wide without group restrictions. System configuration stays with a few admins. Operational work and governance are kept cleanly apart.
Benefits
- Unambiguous access logic with few roles
- Group-level granularity where it is actually needed
- System-wide responsibility clearly with editor and admin
- Better security through defined responsibilities
