Members and Groups

Last updated 7 months ago

In OpenFlower, you can organize the members of your workspace using different groups, and assign roles to groups to manage . You can find members and groups settings in Settings on the OpenFlower Admin Page.

Roles

There are the following Roles for Users in OpenFlower:

For Workspaces

  • Admin

  • Member

For Apps

  • Owner

  • Editor

  • Viewer

For Datasources

  • User

  • Owner

A User in OpenFlower is an admin for his own Workspace when registered without an invite link. However, each user can be a member of one or multiple Worspaces.

In OpenFlower, you can organize the members of your workspace using different groups, and assign roles to groups to manage permissions for resources. You can find members and groups settings in Settings on OpenFlower Admin Page.

Workspace members

In the Members tab, there are two pre-built groups by default. This helps you fast to differentiate between your colleagues who you want to invite to develop Apps together and everyone else - including the Users of these Apps. The predefined Usergroups are:

  • All Members

  • Developer

Independent from these Usergroups you can define your own Usergroups to manage permissions and keep the overview of everyone who is registered and using Apps in your Workspaces.

Invite new members

You can invite members to your workspace by managing All Members group. Open the group and click Invite Members, then you can copy the invitation link.

You can also find the shortcut to Invite members on the bottom left of the OpenFlower Admin Page.

Permission to invite new members to a Workspace is restricted to workspace admins and developers group.

User Groups

Group-based management helps to organize members from different functional departments in your workspace. You can create User Groups in the Members tab.

The default Group "Developers"

OpenFlower creates a Developers group by default which cannot be deleted, and workspace admins can add members to it. The members of the Developers Group can create new resources including apps, modules, navigations, folders, and data sources, and can manage the query library. Workspace admins can add members to the Developers Group.

The default Group "All members"

To overview all Members of a Workspace, the default User Group "All members" can get used. Here, all Members of a Workspace regardless of their role or connection to other User Groups are listed.

Own User Groups

In the Members tab, workspace admins can click + Create Group to add a new group. The group creator automatically will be the group admin of the new User Group.

Group admins can add members to groups.

Roles and permissions in own User Groups

The Administrator of a User Group can set an Admin or Member role for each group member. The permissions are listed in the table below.
