Permission System
 
Why permissions?
An intelligent permissioning system allows platform administrators and users to control, who should be permitted to access services and to view or create and edit information.

The Hierarchy:
For every factline Community Server (the server on which your platform runs), there is a system administrator („Sadmin“), one or several platform administrators („pAdmin“) and one or several write-permitted users.

sAdmin = factline If factline is used as the application service provider (ASP), the system runs on a server powered by factline. In this case, factline takes over the tasks of the Sadmin.
The Sadmin defines for each platform a group of platform administrators, who again specify which groups of users may enter the different services. Finally every user can assign write and read permissions for every piece of information (fact) they create.

General permissions
Read Permission ("read"):Read-permitted groups can read, but not work on or hide text.
Write Permission („modify“):Write-permitted groups can write, work on, or delete text.

Special permissions
Post Permission („post“) - within Dialog: In the case of the forum, users don’t have the possibility of deleting or altering the title. Here it is possible to exclusively answer a posting.
Work permission "work" - for folders within Structure: Not all users shall be permitted to edit the folder-tree. However they shall be allowed to create content within a folder. For this you assign the work-permission.

Assigning Permission: Read and write permissions will be assigned when providing and/or editing information. After clicking "next>>" a group overview opens, where you can assign permissions to the intended groups. Mostly you can see a preselection, that you can accept or choose an own one.

The preselection is determined by the pAdmin.
