User role system for Digital Signage CMS

At Waapiti, we understand the importance of seamless access management in digital signage platforms. That’s why we’ve engineered an intuitive user role system, specifically crafted to streamline the assignment of access levels across your team. Our innovative system recognizes the diverse functions of each employee, offering a permission-based framework. This ensures your team has the access they need, eliminating unnecessary complexities.

Overview: User Role & Policy System

Our ‘User Role’ feature comprises a collection of permissions assignable to user groups. These permissions, known as ‘Policies’, are the building blocks of our access management. They allow for precise and adaptable control over user access, ensuring your digital signage platform remains secure and efficient.

Effortless Role Creation

To create a new role:

  1. Select ‘Settings’ from the left menu.
  2. Click on the ‘Roles’ tab.
  3. Choose ‘+ New Role’ and name it.
  4. Assign policies by toggling them on or off.

For example, check out this newly created ‘Content Manager’ role:
