==================

We are currently analyzing the creation of user roles to facilitate management. We have identified the need for three types of users:

Regular Users: They can create surveys, labels, etc.

Permission Managers: They can manage the permissions of other users, assign roles, user groups, etc.

Full Managers: They can manage all surveys, labels, roles, groups, etc., without being Super Administrators.

My initial experiences are not conclusive for the last two types, as it seems we need to be Super Administrators to assign a role and manage all user groups.

Am I correct, or is there a method I haven’t yet understood?

Thank you.

If you allow permission manager to create user with all permision : permission manager need all permission

Why : because they can create an user and give all permission, log in as this user.

About roles : i create an issue : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=19414

With a potential fix : github.com/SondagesPro/LimeSurvey-Sondag...558019d296d4909c3c19

But it's still a workaround. Giving permission need to have this permission is a security system.
 

Thnaks for your reply

In the same vein, why can a user with full management rights (not super admin) can only edit the users they created?

My goal with these questions is to create a user who can manage all users without being a SuperAdmin.

Yes, the User permission system need a rewrite here !

Need to be same as Survey :

• User have owner : owner can do all on User
• User with create permission are owner by default
• Other permission (update/delete) apply on all User
• Add a permission page (but limited to own permission)
