Access

---

The Access module provides the multi-tenancy for this application. Tenancy is organized into organizations, which contain teams which contain users. As part of this module, application permission checking is also conducted.

Components

• Organization

• Team

Permission System

The permission system within Centurion ERP is custom and built upon Django's core permission types: add, change, delete and view. For a user to be granted access to perform an action, they must be assigned the permission and have that permission assigned to them as part of the organization they are performing the action in. ALL assigned permissions are limited to the organization the permission is assigned.

Tip

User A is in organization A and has device view permission. User A can view devices in Organization A ONLY. User A although they have the device view permission, can not view devices in organization B. For User A to view devices in organization B they would also require the device view permission be assigned to them within organization B.

Unlike filesystem based permssions, Centurion ERP permissions are not inclusive, they are mutually exclusive. That is:

• To add an item you must have its corresponding add permission

• To change an item you must have its corresponding change permission

• To delete an item you must have its corresponding delete permission

• To view an item you must have its corresponding view permission

The exclusitvity is that each of the permissions listed above, dont include an assumed permission. For instance if you have the add permission for an item, you will not be able to view it. That would require the view permission.

Gloabl Organization

If the webmaster has setup Centurion ERP to have a global organization, as long as the user has the a view permission for the model in question in any organization, they will be able to view that item within the global organization. This is not the same for the other permissions: add, change and delete. To which they must be granted those permissions within the global organization exclusively.

Tip

User A is in organization A and the webmaster has setup Centurion to use organization B as the global organization. If user A has been granted permission itam.view_software in organization A they will be able to view software within both organization A and B.
