UI Authorization Overview

Promethium's UI Authorization controls which users can access application-level permissions, determining what features and actions are available to users.

Key Concepts​

Promethium implements controlling access to UI features and capabilities via privileges that can be assigned to roles. Assigning a user to a role(s) determine which features and actions are available.

This approach provides broad application-level permissions that control what users can do within the platform.

Note: For controlling what data users can see and query, see Data Authorization.

Getting Started with UI Authorization​

To configure UI authorization and user access:

  1. Understand Permission Sets - Learn about available permission sets and their UI capabilities
  2. Configure Roles - Create and manage roles for your organization
  3. Manage Users - Add users and assign appropriate roles

For controlling what data users can access and query, see Data Authorization.

UI Authorization Best Practices​

  • Principle of Least Privilege - Grant users only the permissions they need
  • Regular Audits - Review user access and permissions periodically
  • Role Hierarchy - Design roles that align with organizational structure
  • Separation of Duties - Separate administrative, engineering, and business user roles
