Site Roles

Site roles are used to define permissions for everyone who can work on your environment. This article explains how this works.

Cirrus provides a set of default roles, like Admin, Author and Candidate. But these can be expanded depending on the complexity of the organisation.

For example you can create a specific Marker role or Invigilator role. Users with these roles will only have access to specific parts of the Cirrus platform needed to perform their tasks.

Roles are set up by the admin of the site and have a very high level of customisation.

Go to Admin > Roles to set it up.

Sorting

Changing the numbers in the 'Sorting' row allows you to change the order of the columns. This is only an adjustment of the visible presentation. It will not change anything about the individual roles and rights. The role with the highest number will be shown on the most left of the overview. Most likely this is the system administrator.

Roles Type

Cirrus offers the possibility to your organisation to flexibly setup roles which in turn define the level of access and permission for your users. In other words: Roles define what users can see and do in the system.

The type of role a user has defines what type of other users he can add or edit. For example System Admins in Cirrus can deputise the user management for groups within the hierarchy to Admins.
