Why are Roles so Important?

Since the introduction of ACL, it is particularly important to assign newly created users to a project immediately. A user without an assigned project cannot see anything or perform any actions in Eliona.

Find out -> here how to assign a user to a project.

Why is that?

If a user is not assigned to a project, no project role applies to that user.

If no project role applies to a user, only the settings of the system role apply.

The default system role for every new user is "System User." This role has no read permission.

Therefore, a user with the "System User" system role cannot see any menu items or perform any actions.
