Access Control List (ACL) Feature Documentation
Overview
The Access Control List (ACL) feature in our e-commerce platform provides a robust system for managing user access and permissions. Within the ACL, roles define the levels of access, and users are created and assigned to these roles based on their responsibilities. This ensures that each team member has the appropriate permissions to perform their tasks efficiently while maintaining the security of the platform.
Key Features
User Creation:
Admins can create new users within the platform, each with a unique login and profile.
Users are associated with specific roles that determine their access level.
User profiles include details such as name, email, job title, and assigned role.
Role Integration:
Roles are predefined in the ACL and represent different levels of access (e.g., Manager, Social Media Handler, Support).
Users are assigned to roles based on their job functions, ensuring that they have the permissions needed to perform their duties.
How to Use
Accessing the ACL Management
Navigate to the Admin Dashboard.
Select ACL Management from the settings menu.
Creating a New User
Click on Create New User.
Enter the user's name, email, and job title.
Assign the appropriate role from the dropdown menu.
Save the new user profile.
Assigning a Role to a User
Go to the User Management section.
Select the user you want to assign a role to.
Choose the role that best fits the user's responsibilities.
Save the changes.
Best Practices
Regularly Review User Access:
Periodically review user profiles and their assigned roles to ensure they meet the current needs of your organization.
Limit User Permissions:
Assign users only the roles and permissions necessary for their job functions to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Document User Changes:
Keep a record of why specific users were created or modified to maintain a clear audit trail.
Troubleshooting
User Not Appearing in ACL:
If a newly created user is not appearing in the ACL, verify that the profile was saved correctly and that the user has the appropriate role assigned.
Role Assignment Issues:
If a user is unable to perform actions they should have access to, double-check that their assigned role includes the correct permissions.
Conclusion
The Access Control List (ACL) feature is a crucial tool for managing user access on your e-commerce platform. By carefully creating and assigning user roles, you can ensure that each team member has the right level of access to perform their tasks while maintaining the security and integrity of the system
