Admin group access, in ver 5.60

Post by pilandros » 2017-01-03 21:30

In the new version 5.60 when you go into the Table View screen (record details) there is a red special button (top right corner) that will be shown only for the admin user with specific record information. This is a neat feature to have there for the Admin user.

Although there are some times you need to assign certain administrative functions, which are not necessarily technical procedures to an administrative user, like who owns a record, or when was it modified, or who are the users for certain group, which were only found in the Admin area and now are included in this new floating screen. Unfortunately they are only available to the ONE single admin user.

Is it possible to allow this button to be shown to any user who is a member of the Admins group? Being a member of the admin group does not allow him/her to enter de Admin area, where there are sensitive technical functions that may alter the entire DB integrity (like CVS import, or batch transfer of record ownership). But it may allow this admin users to see this new record-info and even change records' ownership one by one. Besides, there may be a flag in the Admin parameters of the Admin area that allow or deny members of the admin group to see and select this record-detail info and functions. This way, there might be several administrative users (for different corporative divisions or areas) without technical functions, only found in the Admin Area.
