Configuring User Permissions in Cinema8

Cinema8 allows you to create and manage user permissions with ease, offering fine-grained control over what actions different roles can perform. Here’s how to configure user permissions:

Accessing User Permissions

Navigate to the User Management section by clicking More > User Management in the left-side menu. Switch to the Security Permissions tab.

Viewing Existing Permissions

In the Security Permissions tab, you will see a list of permissions with details like:

ID
Name
Description
Status (Active or Inactive)

Each permission defines a specific action that users with the corresponding role can perform (e.g., managing projects, creating story flows, etc.).

Creating a New Permission

Click + New Permission. Enter a unique Name for the permission. Add a Description for clarity. Set the Status to "Active." Click Save to create the permission.

Assigning Permissions to Roles

To apply permissions to a role:

Go to the Security Roles tab.
Select an existing role or create a new one by clicking + New Role. Enter a Name for the role.
In the Security Permissions dropdown, select the relevant permissions for the role. Click Create to save the role.

Editing or Deleting Permissions

Edit Permissions: Use the pencil icon in the Actions column to modify an existing permission.
Delete Permissions: Use the trash icon to remove a permission if no longer needed.

Best Practices for Permission Management

Assign permissions based on job functions to maintain system security and efficiency.
Review permissions periodically to ensure they align with your organization’s needs.
Use descriptive names and clear descriptions for roles and permissions to avoid confusion.

With Cinema8's robust user permission system, you can tailor access levels for different teams and ensure secure collaboration across your platform.
