User's Guide - 1.0

Project administration

Once a user has been given permission to a Delegated Administration component the "Delegated Administration" link is shown on the Project administration page.

Overview

Currently only Permissions and Notifications supports "forking" (maintain their own local version). More will be added in the future.

 

 

On the project's "Delegated Administration" screen, each available scheme type is shown with options to Change or Fork the scheme. If a user doesn't have the proper rights for a certain component (or it has been disabled) it is not shown on this page.

For each item a user can select to:

  • Change - allows users to switch the scheme to another scheme
  • View History - Allows for quick reversion to a previous scheme.
  • Fork the scheme (only available for Permissions and Notification schemes) - Clones the scheme and allows for local editing of it.

Duplicating and maintaining Permissions and Notification schemes locally

If a user elects to Fork a permission or notification scheme, they're presented with a dialog for a new name.

Once this has been done a new Edit option appears. From this the user can add permissions or notification targets.

 

At any point they can revert the forked scheme back to the original. This will then flip it back (if possible) and delete the forked scheme.

 

Changing schemes

For any project a user can select a different scheme by clicking "Change". Once this is clicked the user is shown the current scheme. At this point by clicking "I'm sure" the dialog is updated with the list of schemes that can be changed to. Simply select the scheme to change to and the change is done.

Workflows

For the workflow schemes, the migration requires the user to select the appropriate statuses to migrate things to. 

Rolling back changes

At any point a user can click "History" to see what changed in the project in regards to a particular scheme type. From here they can select to revert or "rollback" to a particular state.

In the cases where a scheme is no longer found (an administrator removed it from the system or it was a forked permissions, notification scheme that was unforked and thus deleted) the system will say "Unknown scheme".
