Assign a User to a Project

Changes since ACL

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.

Fig. 1 – This is what a user sees who is not assigned to a project. The entire menu bar is empty, and no actions can be performed

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 permissions.

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