What are dynamic permissions?

Dynamic permissions are a User group permissions mode, that allows administrators to update the group permissions online, in the admin area of the application.

 

Press the Permissions button on the Security screen to open the User group permissions popup, then click Dynamic permissions.

Dynamic permissions require three database tables to store the groups, their permissions, and the group members. You can select the existing tables, or ASPRunner.NET can create these tables automatically, you only have to choose the table names prefix.

 

Note: if you have several projects that share the same database, make sure to avoid permission conflicts by adding unique prefixes to the table names.

 

The next step is to select the administrators - the users with access to the admin area of the application. Click the Add admin user button to open the dialog. You can add an existing user or create a new one.

Note: you can have several administrators - add the users one by one using the Add admin user dialog.

 

Click Change table settings to change the database connection, select another existing table name prefix, or create a new set of tables.
