To give rights to users, the first step is to define an ACL role which will list the permissions you want to give.

Now let’s get more into the details of which kind of permission an ACL role can give.

Click on ACL roles icon on FusionDirectory main page

Click on Actions –> Create –> ACL role

Fill name and description as you see fit.\

Click Add button bottom left ACLs

You will see a screen listing the ACL categories:

Click on pencil icon next to User category

Then you have a part for each user tab depending on your installed plugins. The Create right on a tab allows to activate it while the Remove one allows to deactivate.

The Grant permission to owner checkbox allows to give rights only on the user’s own node as in the editowninfos role we used earlier.

In this case we want to create a role named student having the rights to read and write his phone number.

Check the box against Grant permission to owner

Go to object User and click on Show/hide advanced settings button
