Getting started
Roles module
- Types of users in terms of roles:
- Regular user – every CTU user to whom can be assigned a role. He can review his assigned roles in Usermap,
- Approver – usually a manager (rector, dean, vice-dean, head of the department, etc.). He has the right to assign, approve, reject and withdraw roles for other users in accordance with his competences and has the relevant rights in UserMap.
- Role Types:
- In the role system, as of (1/2/2023), there is a change in the methodology of their designation and structure. The original 2 types have been replaced by a more general structure, which is described on the “New role methodology – 2023″ page.
- Ways of Getting a Role:
- Obtained automatically – these are the roles that result from a person’s relationship to an organization, or are ordered by a rule.
- Obtained by approval – these are the roles requested by the role preparer, approver or administrator, and are authorized by the approver. The easiest way is to ask approvers of a certain role. The second way is to ask (preferably by using HelpDesk) an USERMAP administrator (see above) to create a request. The administrator submits a request into the application, where it awaits authorization by the relevant approver.
- authorization to operate (czech only).
