Permissions
Bayanat has a simple permissions system with standard and additional permissions.
User Management
The user management dashboard allows administrators to add and modify users.
User Fields
- Name: As it appears to other users
- Email: Username for login
- Password: Can be set/reset by admin
- Role: User group membership
- Active: Toggle to enable/disable access
Additional Permissions
Three permissions that can be toggled per user:
- View users' names: When disabled, names are replaced with aliases (e.g., "user15"). Useful for external users.
- View simple log: Access to the list view of change history
- View full history: Access to the detailed diff view of change history
