Overview

 

User profiles can only be created, at account level, in the "User Profiles" sub-module.

This" sub-module is only available in MCL-Mobility Platform accounts with an active/in use OpenID Authentication method ("External System (OpenID Connect)" MUST be the default method - it is defined in the "Account Details" sub-module - "Authentication" tab. See Editing Account Details - Authentication Tab).

 

MCL-Mobility Platform provides default user profiles ("Site Manager Production", "Site Manager Acceptance", "Site Manager Test", "Site Manager Development", "Account Administrator") but, if necessary, you can create user profiles with different roles (= specific access rights and/or assigned sites) so they can be linked to the external users created within the external authentication provider and access MCL-Mobility Platform.

 

When creating user profiles:

1. Make sure the external authentication provider includes the necessary user role attribute(s) and corresponding alias (see External System User Authentication Method).

2. Open the "OpenID Connect Settings" page in your MCL-Mobility Platform account and map the newly created user profile to the intended external user role alias to establish a link between the external authentication provider and MCL-Mobility Platform and allow the associated external users to access your account. See Editing Account Details - To Edit the OpenID Connect Settings.

 

 

Step-by-step

 

1. To create a new user profile, go to the Admin Dashboard's "Control Panel", click and, then, select to access the "User Profile Management" page.

 

 

2. Click to access the "New User Profile" page.

 

 

3. The page is already in edit mode. Start by filling in the options available in the left panel. Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.

 

 

4. If required, click (panel's upper right corner) to hide the panel and have an expanded view of the right panel. To view the panel again, click (upper left corner).

 

5. Proceed to the right panel. Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory, meaning, they must always contain information.

 

 

6. Select the new user profile's role from the corresponding drop-down. There are 9 different roles to choose from.

The options that follow will be adapted to the role you choose in this drop-down.

 

 

 

7. In the "Site(s)" section, select the site(s) to be associated to the new user profile. Check the "Site Selection" link below.

 

If the "Site(s)" section is hidden, click the arrow to the right to expand its content.

 

 

 

This step does NOT apply to user profiles with an account administrator role because this role has full access to the account and its sites.

 

 

 

The right panel, now, displays the selected site(s). If you assigned all the sites with the same qualification to this profile, the site list will only display the entry "<All> Site(s) in <the selected qualification>".

 

If necessary, you can:

 

▪click to delete the corresponding site from the list.

▪execute a bulk deletion by checking the box next to the "Site Name" column so all listed sites are selected (this activates the button) and click .

 

 

Either action (single/bulk deletion) requires you to confirm the deletion by clicking the resulting button.

 

 

8. If you have selected the custom user role for the new user profile, you must select which modules it can access, in the "Module Access Rights" section. This will apply to all the previously selected sites. Proceed as described in the "Access Rights Selection" link below.

If you have selected any other role, you can proceed to step 10 to save the new user profile.

 

 

If the "Module Access Rights" section is hidden, click the arrow to its right to expand its content.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This step does not apply to the other roles - the account administrator has full access and all the other roles have predefined rights which become available for consultation in this section once a role is selected in the corresponding drop-down. You can check the listed user rights but you cannot edit them.

Ex: The "Module Access Rights" section of a configuration manager role which does NOT have editable access rights.

 

9. Once you have added the sub-modules you want this profile to access, you will be able to edit those sub-modules and corresponding operations.

 

 

a. If necessary, you can delete added access rights:

▪click to delete the corresponding right from the list.

▪execute a bulk deletion by checking the box next to the "Module" column so all listed access rights are selected (this activates the button) and click .

 

 

Either action (single/bulk deletion) requires you to confirm the deletion by clicking the resulting button.

 

 

b. If you want to edit the default rights of a listed sub-module, open the corresponding drop-down in the "Rights" column and check/uncheck the intended rights.

 

 

You can use the search box to look for a specific right.

Click outside the drop-down or the X button to close the drop-down.

 

10. Once you have filled in/checked the required options in the left and right panels, click to apply.

 

The page will be set to view mode with the information you added.
